I'm thinking that if it's a Hobbico Superstar, it may work. He would need a paved runway, and it would fly a lot like a Cub. Definitely on the wing. He may have to fly scale, and avoid stunts. My Superstar flew with authority, using the 40 LA it came with. It would take off at less than 1/2 throttle, no problem. Use a 9 X 6 prop for the .25. I currently have the 40 LA mounted on a Slow Poke Sport, and I did that intentionally to make the plane more challenging. I don't expect any problems with it.
