Default RE: Compression Testing a 50cc engine ?

In that case, Yes, you can use a compression gauge to test the condition of your engine, though I do not know anyone who does it on two stroke engines.
You can take your plane to a garage and have them test compression.
The engine must make several revolutions, so you will also need an electrical starter that is up to the job at hand.
