Default Giant scale planes 54" Zero

I was wondering what you guys think about putting a thunder tiger 91 4 stroke engine in this small of a plane.

http://www.giantscaleplanes.com/Zero_54.html

I already have the plane and have a couple spare 91 4 strokers laying around.

I think it wil be too much weight and too much power, but a friend of mine think sit wil be OK..

What do ya think??/

I think at 6 pounds, the 91 4 stroke would be a good option. A .46 2 stroke will fly it, but not very well, and a 50 size 4 stroke would probably really struggle.

I was hoping it would work, that way I dont have to buy another engine.

I was worried because a friend of mine had the Kyosho SU 31 Sukhoi and has a saito 91 in it and it was way overpowered and the wing loading was high due to the extra weight, and it was supposed to have a 40 size 2 stroker in it.

I havent compared the wing loadings of the two different planes yet, but want to do some research and compare them.

Thanks for your input.

It would probably be perfect for the weight up front. Better than dead ballast.
