what engine we use for such a body?
I would ask if we have a rule that gives us the minimum required power of an engine for a specific body, depending on the total body weight or the Wing Loading
And if not how can I say that such body (lets say 2 by 2 meters) will need a 200cc and 20HP
Thank you for your cooperation

HAMED,
Those big engines are used on large aerobatic airplanes mainly. These planes need a lot of power to perform all those difficult maneuvers, although they are not all that heavy.
An a not to heavy built 2x2 meter sport plane you can get by with something like a 15cc two stroke engine.
Why don't you look up some manufactures of airplane kits on the internet, and see how the power range of engines correlates to the size and function of the model. That should give you an idea.
