Large, dragy airplane with a light wing loading, 3-4 hp is all the useful power needed.

CG requirements though demand 4-5 pounds in the nose of this plane ( WW1 design ). Lead or bigger motor then is the real question.
The NGH 35 will power this plane very well with no problems. Just add lead then to balance, nothing wrong with that.
IMHO
