Default Which gas engine to 72" giles?

Hi all

I am thinking of buying my first gas engine. I want to have plenty of power reserve for 3D flying and hovering.

Plane specs:
Wingspan: 72.05 inches
Wing Area: 961.00 sq. inches
Length: 62.99 inches
Weight: 10.58 Lbs.

Suggested engine is 1.10-1.60 2-stroker. Is the MVVS 26 with tuned pipe strong enough to give unlimited vertical or should I go for 35cc or even bigger one? Any suggestions are welcome, because I am totally new with gas engines. MVVS is nicely priced anyway.
