I agree with acdii, if it fits give it a shot. This airframe will fly with a wide variety of power plants... I would guess your FG-36 is pushing the upper end of the spectrum! 
I too, made a hatch under the nose giving access to batteries and ignition module. Enjoy the build!

She is a little porky. 
With the design of the plane it will still fly real nice though. It has a very wide flight envelope hence the wide range of engines that are successful on it. I still haven't started on mine. Too many projects on the go and not enough time. I did make myself a promise that it will be my next project when I finish the Aeroworks ARF I am working on right now. I hope to have the 120 finished by Christmas.

I just ordered the last of the stuff for my build. Here is what I will have in it.
1" extended rudder and elevators
OS 1.60FX
OS aluminum engine mount.
750cc tank
Savox 0254 100oz/in servos
Futaba aluminum servo arms
4/40 solid wire pushrods for elevator and rudder
Robart hinge points
Sig wheel pants
Forest Green and White scheme
2500mah A123
I haven't decided to clip the wing or not. Maybe a half bay on each side to be a bit different, bring it down to 76" instead of 72".

Sounds like a plan Super8!
I spoke with my friend who cartwheeled his 4*120 a few weeks back. It's back flying again! His is a real Frankenstein airplane, fuselage, tail feathers, and wing are all from different airplanes. It has had 3 other engines in it and 2 sets of radio gear. It's the Timex of airplanes, takes a lickin and keeps on tickin!

I just started mine this week also. What engine are you going to use and are you making any modifications? I am planning to use a G26, enlarge the rudder and elevator and putting in 2 elevator servos in the rear and making the rudder pull = pull.

I plan to make a Biper Cub, which has built in dihedral, so will have to study it a bit to remove the top wing dihedral.This will be an interesting build, but not for a few years, plenty of other projects lined up.

I need to hire a team to build all the projects floating around in my head
A bipe can have dihedral, from very little to a rather fair amount, and would fly like a 3 channel (no ailerons).. Fly very well in fact.
