I think the dle20ra would work and it would be a power house, but you may be looking at definetly modifying/reinforcing the engine box/firewall. Not sure how the cowl will fit either... I think you could get it to balance. Move the fuel tank back to under the wing tube. And have your battery/receivee/ throttle servo behind the cg point.

Just my thoughts..
good luck!
Thanks for the feedback.

Not for 3D actually just scale aero so I'm not worried if its a little heavy as long as it balances nicely.
