This ebay seller has lots of Giant topflite parts, he might have a cockpit kit.. This seller also owns and runs Meister scale kits ...

So ... what about power. How much engine can this airframe take? Anyone got experience or examples of what others have done? Trying to figure out what options there might be.
What do you think?

Here's the top half of the fuse finished. A couple shots with the canopy in place. It looks oversized sitting on the fuse, but I see that it's an illusion as we're only seeing half the fuse.
FWIW, the canopy that Planes Reviewed provides is a high quality, heavy duty one. Very thick plastic. I like that. You will not easily crack this canopy. I was tempted to get my Dremel tool out to cut it
