The engine you're going to use isn't going to work under any circumstances.
Scratch building an airplane to try and save money will also not work under any circumstances. Even if you could build cheaper than you can buy (which you can't), you'll likely wind up with an unflyable airframe due to beginner errors.
Every beginner who wants to fly a fuel powered airplane needs to start at the same place: An ARF or RTF trainer with a .40 sized glow engine. The plane and radio and all the gear will set you back around $600 in the US once you allow for incidentals and memberships. There's no way to do it cheaper than that unless somebody gives you stuff.
While Ive no advice for the OP, this kind of drivel is exactly why I almost didn't use this site, (no offense to the many wonderful folks here who DID help me along when I was starting out) . ARF or RTf.. $600 .. You go right ahead and throw money around like a rich man, I'm sticking with what I can afford, and BTW my
RTF was $300, add $50 for starting gear and I was airborne. I now can build for around that or less, assuming I bought used gear.
Years ago, before the RTF and ARF days all a begginer had was scratch builds and kits, but strangely enough there are lots of old time flyers around that did it, some even on there own. So instead of telling this guy he simply can t do it give some real advice like the others here. Tell him his cjhosen engine wont work, fine, but tell him what will, Sheesh..
Falcon, try and get some good advice from here, and check out the SPAD Aircraft sub group if you are dead set on building from scratch, there's plenty of ways to build a good SAFE aircraft for about half the $600 he quoted or less..
