Matt,
Thanks for the valuable advice. My only concern with a 33cc OS or otherwise is that it coupled with that plane will be underpowered. Thanks again,
Dave

The weight on this plane is pretty light. You might want to just build the plane minus the engine and see what it really weighs in at. That way you can get the right power plant.

Some folks have dabbled in gasoline power; BUT I am the one who stayed with it andhave been developing gasoline alternatives for Pattern since 2009. E-power beckoned but I just didn't want to play there....much less fun in my view....
EDIT...I just saw the specs of Agressor. It is lighter than Aesthesis (if the 10 1/2 # weight spec is true) (Aesthesis is 11# 5 ozs) and the wing is a larger than that of Aesthesis at 1450 squares (Aesthesis is 1100)

I tried the ZDZ F3A a couple of years back. The plane (less than 11 lb) is sort of under-powered with the motor + a carbon fiber pipe. Have not tried any other gas engines for pattern since then.
