Is anyone using the FG60R3 on a 50cc class aerobatic plane? i.e. Sukhoi Yak, etc.

I'm not into 3D. I also hate the chainsaw sound of 2-stroke gassers. I wonder if a Pilot Rc Yak55 w/ FG60R3 could be mild IMAC capable with reasonable wing loading. As a reference I'm having a 40cc Great Planes YAk 54 with a LAser 300v on it. It's a nice combo although the wing loading is a bit high due to a bit small wing of the GP Yak. However, it flyes traditional aerobatics (cuban eights, stall turns, etc.) very well.

Another reference: a friend of mine is having a Pilot Rc Yak 55 50cc with a Saito FA-450 on it. He says he does not want any less power. I'm just thinking the FA-450 isn't the most powerfull engine for its size and weights about 2 lbs more than the FG60R3.

Any thoughts?
