Default 4' walmart foam glider conversion

Just a bought a $5 foam glider at walmart with the intent of dropping in my JR Quattro minis and the motor that came with a GWS Tiger Moth. The plane has a 4 foot wingspan. Has anybody done this? How did it go? How did you mount the motor? Where should the servos go? How 'bout CG? Planning on using cardboard with balsa sticks to stiffen and hold straight as control surfaces. Going with rudder/elevator/throttle (3ch). Just going to have fun with this, but your experience and ideas would help it be successful faster. Pics would be even better. Anybody want pics as I go along? I travel for a living and will be taking this along next week for kicks. Always wanted to try this!!
