Reinforce around the firewall and rewards around the attachment of the wing, triangular wood works well. There is a dedicated forum for glow conversion here: https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/ele...nversions-510/

I still look in there occasionally. Ive been hanging out on RCU a bit more lately.

In that whole category though, the last post was 7/2021, and so many back in 2018. Sad how dead RCU is today when it used to be as dominant as glow powered balsa kits and ARF's from several online sources. I remember all the debates, which is better threads.

Perhaps we all know how to do it by now and there is nothing more to discuss?

I have converted several, but have not seen any real reason to write about them all...

Really? That's the rationale? Not that RCU as a whole is completely abandoned for other reasons?
So why is this thread here?

As for me, I got feed-up with all the ads on the RCU site...

I hope to see jcervantes11 glow powered version soon.

Wow. in a wet fuel forum.. you push electrics.. Thats respectful?. More trolling. reported.
