Default RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

Dear readers, I am planning of getting one of these for my own.
I would like to know if an OS 40LA is sufficient as a power source?
And what is the size of the aileron and engine pushrods (I think 2-56 but correct me if I'm wrong, I'm going te replace them with Sullivan Gold'ns)
Are the installed pushrod tubes big enough to house the outer tube of the RED Sullivan flex pushrods?
It will also be flown with dual ailerons.

But this plane seems to have some teething problems..?
Although it isnt noticed in the manual people dont seem to glue the wings together and wonder why they fly of? I will epoxy mine together and ad a strip of glass cloth, as I have done with all my ARF's wings.. That should take care of that. Another thing is the fixation of the wing at the leading edge: The SIG 4Star40 ARF uses the same method so is it really that bad (oke, if it breaks of when you touch it it is)?
