It's too small for a gas engine, for the best all-out 3D, IMO. If you are looking to stay with glow, then the YS160DZ would be the ticket for that plane. If you are looking to go gas, there are better choices out there for true 50cc class airframes that are larger and will fly lighter, like the Airwild 260, AM260, or Aeroworks 260. The 78" span and only 1100 squares of the h9 unit is just too small...
Wildhare doesn't make a 50cc 260, but their new 300 is an option.

I agree with Bodywerks, the wing loading doesnt work in favour of Gas engines until you get into 50cc class airframes. You are better with more powerful and lighter glow engines though a 1.60 is gonna cost in juice, it eats 2.5oz of 30% glow per minute!! But its one of my personal favourite engines and i wont be without it in 2m (70in.) class aircraft, it just hurts the pocket a little at $10 a flight.
