The .30 should have enough power the question is will it fit? I'm not familiar with that airplane so I don't know if it has a cowling.

I think you won't have any problems the .30 should do great.

Could you post a picture of the box? I remember those in the hobby shop when I was a kid.

That was my first RC kit. What a nice flier. I had a Veco .19 on it. Wish I could find another kit like it. I flew in Hawii back in the 80's, the wind was always blowing at 15+, I could land like a helicopter! Enjoy!!!

My first plane I built, flown and crashed[&o], kit cost $44.00 early 80's, flew nicely with a Enya .15.

A .30 will be plenty of power but it might be a little to heavy for a Cowboy. The wing has no leading edge sheeting so watch the power dives, you might fold it up like a cheep lawn chair.

Floaty and fun like weswason says, I suggest you keep it light.
