No. A 120 glow engine is closer to a 20cc gas engine. The OS 120 will fly the plane but I'm sure you will be disappointed in the performance. I have this plane with a DLE35 for power although it hasn't been flown yet (too hot where I live at this time of year). Go with at least a 30cc engine. You're going to have about a 13 to 14 pound plane, so you need a larger engine unless you just want to fly around in circles.
