Default Engine Choices (and a question)

I'm contemplating the purchase of one of these (have flown the Pitts, and really liked-it, but I think the Eagle is MUCH better looking aesthetically!) My question is regarding engine choice. I currently have an OLD G-38 that came from an even older Byron CAP21 (also flew great). The engine has only an hour or so of run-time, and is NOT converted to electronic ignition. I'm wondering if this will be 'enough' engine for the Eagle (don't care about hovering, really, just want decent performance). I know the Zenoah's don't make lots of horsepower for their weight (especially in stock configuration), but if the Eagle will fly relatively well with it, it's probably the 'GO' signal for me to pick up the kit. If I have to also purchase a new engine, it'll probably have to wait awhile! THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY OF YOUR EXPERT OPINIONS!!!!
