Default Piper Cub and engine

I was wondering if this engine would be a good selection for this plane that i am currently building in an aerospace class in school.
this is the cub: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXN774&P=7
and this is one of the engines i am considering: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXUJ71&P=7
or: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLW81&P=7
I Like the OS engine because of their great reputation, i have one in my rc car and it has never failed me. the kit calls for a .049-.061 size engine, but i wanted the extra power because i thought it would be less likely to stall. and i wanted to be able to use a throttle, instead of the .049 engines my teacher supplies that have no throttle control.
so if not these engines i would appreciate if someone could tell me another that would better suit my needs.
i was also wondering if the os could run on the 20% fuel i have left over from my car.
Thanks,
James
