Default Help with HOB 2X4 sailplane and nitro engine

Hi All;

I am in the process of building a HOB 2 X 4 sailplane that I would like to modify to nitro power. Below are the spec of the 2 X 4. I was thinking of trying an OS .15 engine. Servos will be HiTec 55 with three channel operation. I am not looking for speed or anything like that, just looking to have a nice slow gentle Sunday afternoon flyer. This would be a tail dragger with a light landing gear using 2.25 on the main nerf tires. Would the OS .15 do the the job for me? Any help that anyone can give me I will put to good use. Thanks alot.
