Default RE: Need opinion on J3 Cub issue

I inherited this Sig 1/6 Cub many about 20 years ago and stuffed it in rafters of garage. I recently returned to rc flying and I am in the process of restoring this plane. I don't have any plans, door and cowl are missing. Assembly wasn't great, but I have reglued and re-inforced many parts. I have a 2nd generation OS FS .60 that I would like to mount inverted but it appears to be way too big for this plane. Its the only small 4-stroke that I have. I guess I could mount a .40-.46 2-stroke if necessary.

As I mentioned, I don't have any plans and I am wondering what the tail, wing, and engine mount incidence angles should be. Looks like the top of fuse where wing fits is not level so I may have to re-work that area. And, the tail assembly looks like it was barely mounted above the main fuse stringers which looks odd to me. And, the landing gear fairings are hard-mounted to fuselage which doesn't look right since the spackling would crack or has cracked in a hard landing.

Any help would be much appreciated.
