Assuming the plane is in good shape, sure. Go for it. BUT, I would suggest you set it up as a sport plane with pretty conservative surface throws and CG location, then get to know it for a while. Get some time on it. Learn how to trim it perfectly and do that. THEN dial it up a little with a little more throw and move the CG back a bit.

Resist the temptation to just get it running and start jamming the sticks to the corners to see what happens. If you try that, there's a very good chance it's eventually going to end up in an attitude you aren't quick enough to recover from while one mistake too low. That'll be an expensive lesson. Those happen often enough under the bast of conditions. You want to delay that incident as long as possible.....

Very best of luck!
