RC ML I'm not familiar with that motor. Based on the specs found on-line, it would likely be under powered. The plane will come in at more that the 20lbs on the product page. In order to get it to balance right, it will weigh about 25-26lbs. The 3000watts of output from the motor you mentioned, would only give you about 115w per lb. A bit too low for a model with a big round front end like the Gilmore IMHO.
A power set-up that would turn a 24" prop and produce 140-150w/per lb. would provide a balance of proper look and sport performance.
