Default U-can-do 3d .46 w/OS .50 SX??

I have been reading the other U-can-do forum that is 234 pages long and really couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. I have a U-can-do .46 that I'm using 9202 Futaba servos all the way around. 1320 mha Ly-po battery and 6 volt regulator on rx. The air plane weighs right at 6 pounds may be 6 pounds 1 ounce depending on what scale I put it on. The question I'm asking is why does everyone say you have to use at least a 80 four stroke to 3-D this airplane? I have an O.S. .50 SX with a tower muffler, 12x4 APC prop that seems to put out more pull than any .80 four banger I've ever seen. I think that the heavier four stroke will kill the wing loading which is what makes the airplane fly so well. I don't have a video yet but this airplane with the OS .50 has more power with a better wing loading than ANY U-can-do with a 4 stroke. Video will be comming this Saturday. Going to have one of my buddies video the flight. Just wondering what some of the ideas you guys were having?
