Believe me Ed, it'll work. The 1.20 will be great but the Phaeton can easily handle the weight and power of the Ryobi and it will sound and look so realistic that people will stop and watch. You'll have to either shorten the nose a little or mount your radio gear rearward.
I put a hatch in the bottom of the fuse and installed everything near the tail. You're making me want to build another one.
