Default NitroModels 52" P-38

I bought this ARF from a friend who intended to convert it to electric. I plan on glow, using two Magnum XLS .15 for the power plants. Anyone have experience with this little P-38? Any pit falls to look out for? Anyone have one they actually put glow engines into?
I had planned on my next project to be a 70" P-51 to go along with my WillHobby FW 190, but after reading a post from a guy in a B-25 thread about building the plane and giving it his aunts name, as she had worked on them during the war, my mind changed. I still plan on building a P-51, but my mom worked on the P-38 during the war and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. So, after reading the story about the guy and his aunt, how could I not go for a P-38? She'll be named "Donna May" and have a decal of portrait of my mom during that time as nose art. I look forward to viewing any input anyone can provide. THANKS

I had one electric, flys very well. I would put rudders on it in case you have a flame out...

Thanks. I do plan on adding rudders. This thing is going to have more servos than balsa.....
