Default Superstar Electric to Glow

Hi All,

I'm currently converting a Hobbico Superstar small trainer that a friend gave me, because he gave up flying, and Ive always wanted to have a small overpowered trainer, that fits on my trunk, and have a couple of spare batteries on a 4CHradio so I can fly where it may... I want to hear opinions I have some spare Hitec servos, with a TX and RX, so I'll be using that as electronics, and I have some spare engines to choose which one to use:

- Vintage O.S Max .35 (no muffler, just a butterfly valve connected to the throttle linkage system
- O.S FS-40 Surpass (4-stroke)
- O.S .25 (Old Heli engine)
- Thunder Tiger GP .42

I'm attaching some pictures, to receive ideas on what engine to use, how to cover the model again, I want to add another servo to put a mechanism that opens up the old battery door to throw stuff, or maybe install a small camera device.

I'm also changing the hinge mechanism from tape, to some small plastic hinges to make it more durable, the ailerons I'm gonna leave them with their actual mechanism which is the small CA Hinges made from a plastic-fiber sheet.
