Perhaps it could fly, but certainly not with an original ABC Wasp inside, which was already troublesome in 1917 - 1918.
I found this quoted description of the Wasp in Kenneth Munson's "Fighters 1914-1919" pretty amusing:

"The mettlesome Was engine, whose sound was likened by one observer to 'thousands of empty wooden boxes falling on a stone floor', was still giving trouble, and its development was ultimately abandoned."
