Default Seagull .46 Pilatus Porter engine question

Hi gents.

I'm thinking of buying the Seagull models .46 size Pilatus Turbo Porter. The engine I am thinking of using is a Magnum .61FS AR (4C). However, seagull states that the plane was designed for .46 to .55 2-strokes or .70 to .82 4-strokes. To me it seems that a .61 4C would be enough since this is a slow flight type airfame similar to a cub. Would the Magnum .61 4-C be enough for this plane? The reason I ask is that I have the engine available and would rather buy an airframe for it than buying a new airframe and new engine.

Thanks and regards,

Marius

It should be plenty adequate.
