Resist the urge to overpower your plane. Bigger engines weigh more, which adds stress to your airframe and increases your wing loading. A ball bearing .60-.70 engine propped right and tuned well will put the plane around just fine, and it will fly better without the added weight. If you feel the need for more power, you can go up to a higher nitro content in your fuel.
