A TT.40 on a Flite Streak would be like hanging onto a rottweiler..!
Figure that 4 ozs of fuel is enough to do 2 1/2 minutes at 18000 rpm and 100+ mph. That's a lot of hanging on to do with 50 pounds of pull.
An old TV show called "That's Incredible" showed a guy flying C/L with a lawn mower engine equipped plane. I never saw the episode, but did spend some time trying to find it. According to what I heard, he was in a full body harness that was tethered to the ground.

Oh yes, President Lincoln would be quite honored to know that his likeness has been epoxied to 1000's of control line outboard wing panels.
