GP Matt Chapman 580 engine?

Hey folks
I'm getting ready to build a GP Matt Chapman Cap 580 it calls for a 46 to 61 2 cycle, or a 52 to 70 4 stroke. I have a Saito 120 twin cylinder engine that I've been told is equivalent to a good 65 2 cycle. How do any of you feel about this plane with this engine? Does anyone know of anything I need to watch for in this plane ( its an ARF). Anyone know much about this plane? All comments and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance Skip

There is 40+ page thread already on this airplane with all kinds information on suitable engines for this plane. I personally feel your 120 would be too heavy and way overkill!
