Default Phoenix Sukhoi SU-31 Engine choice

I just got my Phoenix model Su-31 ARF And have been reading allot of posts about engines that would best suit this aircraft.I just can't make up my mind and would like to hear what others have done for engine and prop combos.I want to stay with a 2 stroke and can't decide between a 46 which is what it's suppose to have or a 61 size.Things i've read say the 46 is under powered but the 61 is to heavy.the plane is suppose to weigh in around 6 lbs or so.I don't want to mount a 61 size and have to land it at high speeds just to keep it in one piece.Or do i want to have problems just getting it to take off with a 46 size.This is my third plane.My trainer plane was the falcon 56 and my second was the great planes ryan STA.Any comments would be most helpful as i'm stuck in the middle and can't decide ...thanks allot .
