I have not built or flown that exact plane but given the specs it would fly quite nicely with a common non high performance 2 stroke glow engine such as an O.S. 40 LA/46LA. If flying off grass I would use the 46LA and if off pavement then the 40 LA would be fine. Both have more than enough power once in the air, but sometimes on grass you need a little more to pull it thru the grass (if not cut short) to reach take off speed. I would stay away from the low end of the range (.19) as the plane will struggle to get air born. It MAY fly it once in the air but you got to consider what it will take to git it up there. O.S. LA series engines are inexpensive and very user friendly. Lot of used ones on E-bay at give away prices too. A new 46LA will run about $85, 40LAs are no longer sold new.
