I am thinking the 1.80 Magnum 4 stroke would be a good choice for this plane. The Saitos are great, but quite a bit harder on fuel than the Magnums. The 5 Magnum 4 strokes I own are very fuel conservative compared to my Saitos which run fantastic, but do drink the fuel quickly. Of course the Saitos seem to be the more powerful, but the Super Sportster is designed for sport aerobatics and not 3D type flying. So its not like I am going to need an engine that is going to hang the Plane on the prop. I think the Magnum 1.80 should pull it along nicely from the specs on the Plane I have read.

For $165 delivered (US only), you can buy a converted 25cc Toro gasoline engine from Brillelli that will fly this model in fine style. The converted Toro sips inexpensive, relatively speaking, gas/oil mix and is easy to set up. Yes, I have one.
