That puts the Fuji .05 Schneurle then in the .09 cross scavenge power class. That's about the power of the 1965 Enya 09-III TV.
Things were a lot different in 1965. If you want a good comparison, get one of the new Profi or Fora .049 or .06s. They put out the power of a fairly recent .15. The piped one may be a bit more trouble to tune. I got my Fora for $150 CDN which is about what the Fuji would end up being with shipping and $ exchange. That was a few years ago. I still have not run it yet though. Can't think of a plane yet, besides a combat which has been started.
