A friend built this TM years ago from the kit and powered it with a 280 geared motor.
It flew very well, so much so that I took the plan and started making templates for the wing ribs and fuselage half-formers, with the intention of scratch building a few models from it.
It flew without ailerons, but you could add them with today's technology.
Good luck, and post lots of pics please! it could just give me the push to get on with mine.
