 Hello, Chuck....

 I have built two of the TF Mustangs - pretty easy and straight-forward
 in construction - no surprises - not a beginner's project, though - the
 bird builds up pretty heavy with a high wing loading - flight properties
 are HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY - I'd suggest at least a 2-cycle 90 or perhaps
 a 4-cycle 120 for power - you will really need the horsepower to get the
 heavy monster off the deck in a reasonable length - don't make the
 mistake of pulling the bird up before it reaches take-off speed, which
 is pretty FAST - unless you want to tip stall and have a BIG pile of
 balsa and plywood.  Good luck, I feel you will need it.  TTYL - Roger
