Default Seagull AT6 Texan

Hi guys. I've just bought a Seagull AT6 Texan and the recommended engine size is .46 - .52 2S or .72 - .82 4S. The model should weigh in around 3.5kg ( ~7.5 lbs for our American friends). I was originally going to put a Saito 82 FS in it but I've read lots of reports about this being a very thirsty engine. The fuel tank provided is only 200cc (7oz) which would give me a flying time of around 7-8 minutes. Would an OS 70 FS have enough power to fly this decently and any idea what the fuel consumption is for it?

Thanks

Shane
