Lightbulb Roadrunner Kit - what engine should I put in it?

Picked up a nice kit the other day - Roadrunner - and was wondering if any of you have seen it fly (or built it) and what engine was on it....I would like to go with gasoline......for those who don't know, the Roadrunner is a 90" wingspan fun fly airplane (box fuse and thick airfoil).

Suggestions.......................... are.......................................WELCOMED !

Jerry, The Prime Cut I built has a thick airfoil that reminds me of the wing on an Up-Roar but symmetrical and it's 90 inches with a base cord of 21 inches, I'm using a Brison 2.4 40 cc and it's got the juice. The PC weighs 13.5 pounds.

It comes in three parts! Want to purchase the kit? I have one and are wondering if its number is up for the building season which is just about ready to start here.....
