My first reaction was: How much sense does it make to add an engine to the tail of a chronically tail-heavy design? But I see you stretched the nose. It probably balances now with an overall weight no greater than the stock kit.

VERRRY, VERRRRY nice !! (Impressive, too.)

Extremely impresive aircraft and web page. I assume the plane is not as nimble as the standard version and needs a little extra room to take off and land. Would be something to see. What is your estimated top end speed?
