One of our club members here in Alameda CA did exactly that with this very model. He has about a .15 glow in it. It flies just fine, but this is a scale model that even has scale undercambered wings, not suitable for stunt. The short nose is a factor, making CG fairly tricky, but it has been successfully done. I can get more details if you want to follow up on this idea. Personally I would use the DVII biplane or SE5A biplane, both with long noses and a little larger than the triplane. There have been several favorable writeups on this line of Electrifly models in MA and elsewhere.
