Hello, welcome to the U Can Do thread. Are you talking about the Evo 46? If so you'll be able to get the plane off the ground but will probably be very underwhelmed with the power of the Evo 46. The problem with a 46 size engine is that you'll end up with too small of a prop to throw too little of air over the control surface. For some serious 3D you'll need a larger 2 stroke or 4 stroke. These planes fly very slow and you want a lot of wind going over it in the slower speeds.
For building tips, you'll need to beef up the landing gear area. Some of the guys on here have "pinned" it to make it stronger. I'm sure they'll chime in here to write how they did it. Also, you'll find that some on here have put tail wires on it to strengthen the tail feathers.
