Default RE: 42cc engine with EI & Lanier Ulimate Pitts Question?

Thanks for the info. I guess I am a little worried about the total weight of the plane when it is finished. With a total wing area of only 1112 sq in I believe the wing loading will be around 32 oz . I guess I will just keep my airspeed up on landings. I am not into 3d flying so all I do is simple loops, rolls, touch and goes and a little inverted here and there. Will this 42cc engine that weighs 4lb 3oz and swings a APC 18x8 prop at 8600 RPM have enough power for me?
