Default Small gas engine for 62" Raven?

Someone at the club crashed his (nothing too serious) Raven and gave it to a friend of mine. My buddy just wanted to fix it, which he did, then gave it to me. Has everything but an engine, receiver, and battery. From my understanding the guy had a .91 four stroke engine on it and said that a comparable sized engine would be around .60 two stroke. From what I have seen from my google searches, this is most likely a global 62" ws kit.

I was thinking about putting an 18cc featherlite engine on it but decided to ask the people that might know better whether a: this would be a decent fit (I don't want to hover or anything), and b: are there any other small gas engines that would do a good job of pulling this plane around?

I don't expect stellar performance, just want to do something different.

If it's the Global Kit, here is the most information I can find on it.

Following those suggestions, I wonder if a 20-22cc wouldn't be out of the question.

What do you think?
