It is an interesting plane indeed. I got one in about 2009 that had a .90. I took the motor out and installed an AXI on 6S. It was flying ok but I had issue with the landing gear that had too much loose in all the joins. It was cool to watch in flight with it's different look. I painted it in frencf color has it was flown in France even after the ww2. I still have it but the motor has been used in another plane since.
Post pictures of you progress sometime.
