Default Cessnot. Foam board frankenplane power question...

I am building a somewhat oddity of an airplane out of foam board and I need some suggestions on what I should maybe power this with. The dimensions are kind of weird as I wanted to make this thing a little strange and have it appear to defy the odds.

It will have a wingspan of about 60" by 20" as I am using 2 full sheets of 20" by 30" foam board with some spacers inserted to give the wing its shape. Fuselage will be about 30" long and have a diameter of about 5' by 5". The entire aircraft will be wrapped in duct tape. I am thinking I will run this on 3 channels, rudder, elevator and throttle.

Given the odd shape of this plane, I imagine it will need a considerable amount of power if it is to fly. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Will post photos once construction is further along.

Thanks,
