I doubt you'll get much more that 150watts out of that setup, but, don't worry, she'll fly just fine. A Cub will fly perfectly on 50watts per pound.
Do it now, you may never get another chance

That is very impressive bearing in mind youve been doing other things and it would probably be done if you had the covering.Why do you still cover in tissue and dope
