I recently got my hands on some old CL planes ,in which I think the bigger one can be out fitted with RC radio gear if done right!
My concern would I have to alter the location of the engine to where it will coincide with the CG ,like move it further back?
Ive noticed that a lot of these type planes ,the nose appear rather short!
Also ,what would be the least smallest engine that would power this in a hand launch form?

Wing span 48''
Fuse length 32''
Nose length from the leading edge of wing is 7 1/2''
