I was wondering if a GMS 61 at 22 Oz. would be too much for this plane.It says this engine will put out 2 HP.I see a lot of you guys are using Saito 72's on this plane.They come in at 16.6 Oz. and put out 1.2 HP according to the websites.So I can get a GMS 61 here in Canada for less than 1/2 the price of a Saito 72.Don't get me wrong I like Saitos,I have 2.A 56 and a 100GK.But would the GMS 61 be a good engine on this little profile Bipe using a 12x4 or 12.25x3.75 prop.Any input will be appreciated.I pretty much have it narrowed down to the GMS 47 or 61. I have a GMS 47 on a PT 40 I can use or I could buy a GMS 61 if it would be a better match.

Thanks,
