Default Eaglet 50 and OS LA15

Hello guys....

I want to buy the [link=http://www.carlgoldbergproducts.com/airplanes/gbga0061.html]Eaglet 50[/link] for my kid as his first plane. He is 7 years old. I was looking for the OS 15LA for the Engine. I don't want the biggest engine (.25 size) because i want it to land as slow as possible. I don't really like bushing engines but the only .15 with bearings i found are the [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXRLG6&P=0]Magnum XLS-15A[/link] and the [link=http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg0715.html]OS 15CV-A[/link].
The OS 15 CV-A is too expensive for the kid and i have read bad comments about Magnum Engines so i guess i'll go for the OS 15LA.

My question is will the OS 15LA is powerful enough for that plane ? I am open to any suggestion for the plane/engine combo. Again i am looking for something that can land slow for my kid.

Thanks [8D]
