Default Will it fly?

This is my first attempt at a plane this small. Any advice from you experienced 1/2 A guys is appreciated. I have been flying .40 to 1.50 sized planes for over a decade and thought I'd give this miniature part of the hobby a try! Hey, if I like it, I may go smaller. Here are the specs:
OS 10 LA
26" top wing span
307 sq. in. wing area
27 oz. AUW
So, based on other planes in this size/ weight range, what flight characteristics can I expect?
Thanks
BTW, it is a "Twig" stick biplane produced by Celerity Aerospace Designs in the mid 90's. I modified a bit to include cowl, 4 ailerons, tail wheel, and counterbalanced tail surfaces.
