Really? He didn't even lift off when going fast so that wing has terrible lift properties. It only went airborne when its pitch changed upword which means the angle of attack of that wing must have been trimmed really downwards. It would've been a terrible airplane and barely or not be able to fly if you'd added a prop.

No you can't, the propeller would amount to over 50 times the weight of the wing. It would be too fuckin heavy. Not to mention the entire framework would need to be made way more sturdier to support an engine and by that point you made something completely different which most people call....wait for it....a plane.
