Default Byron Christen Eagle rebuild

I have had the wreckage of a foam Byron Christen Eagle lying around for many years. I never flew the airplane but bought it from an acquaintance who flew it with a Quadra 35. He thought it was under powered and that it wasn't that good of an airplane, but I don't know much about his flying skills.
I am looking for opinions from those with experience with this airplane to let me know if it is waste of my time and money to finish this project. I have rebuilt the airplane and t is ready for a finish and radio installation. A Moki 2.1 is installed. Iam thinking about a glass cloth and epoxy finish, or would it be better to apply low temp covering as per the original.
Is it a good flying, what is the best engine prop, what should be the max weight, etc,?
I look forward to your experince to let me know if I should pursue finishing the airplane or .
