Default RE: Engine for Wing P-40b?

Finished up the wing last night. Then put it on the scales. Bought some new and I hope more accurate scales last night. Came in at 5 lb and 5 onces. With all equipment but with no fuel. I used an 8 once fuel tank.

Now I am a little worried. Will the LA 40 get her off the ground? Keep in mind that I want to keep her mild as my original objective when I started this model was to have a cheap and mild warbird that I could practice takeoffs and landings. I have a Tower 46 in another model that I could swap but really don't want to. Do you guys think it would even be worth my time to try the LA 40 first or just make the swap eventhough I dont want to?

Thanks
Jim
