Default Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass

I just aquired an new project to work on. I ended up with an Ace Extra 230, the 96" version with a full fiberglass fuse. From what I can gather Ace Hobby originally started here in Missouri just outside Kansas City and this plane was built as a prototype apporximently 20 years ago. For being as old as it is, the plane is in great shape, it needs a little work on the fuse and a new firewall. Any ideas on what size engine this plane will need ? I am thinking a G-62 at minimum. What kind of control throws should I start with and how about the cg ?

Thanks in Advance
Scott
