Default 1/3 Scale Fokker DVIII-What Engine???

I am the new owner of a 1/3 scale Fokker DVIII and I need to find out what displacement engine would fly this beast? The plane is fortunately well constructed and fairly light for it's size, I'd say it's in the 25-27 lb range without the motor. I do not know who's kit or plans this plane is from but the wing is three piece and the wing panels are balsa sheeted foam. The center section with the cabanes is fixed and the outer wing panels slide onto an aluminum tube. The fuse is standard stick construction and it does have a basic cockpit installed. I believe this is a kit as there are stamped/numbered parts visible. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I also need to figure out where the CG would be.

Happy Flying
