Default Gas-Glow equivalant

How do you determine what size gas engine would be equivalent to 4 stroke glow engine. Specifically, a Saito 91.

Something along the lines of a DLE20.

No doubt the DLE 20 will out pull the Saito .91. While I don't have the DLE 20, I do have an RCGF 20 (from what I hear, no match for the DLE[]and a Saito .91)
The Saito is no match for a 20cc gass engine in my experience, limited as it may be.
My own feelings are that a 4 stroke glow and a 2 stroke gasser of the same displacement, will be a fair match up in power. Others mileage may vary

My G20 is just a bit above the output of a standard 4 stroke 1.20 glow engine.

I use a very rough formula of glow 4-stroke cu in multiplied by 16.3

But obviously, it depends on the gas engine, too. A DLE-20 is more powerful than a CRRC Pro 26 or an RCGF 26, but a Zenoah G20 or G23 might be a nice fit or maybe a JBA-15?
