Default Kyosho Oxalys and OS .55AX

Is the OS .55AX enough engine to practice basic pattern with the Kyosho Oxalys 50?

I'v'e had a few YS .63s and I want to stay away from them...too expensive and finicky for my level of flying.
I prefer the ease of the two stroke.

However, I could be talked into a Saito or OS four stroke...I just don't want to fool with the YS's need
for high nitro, overheating issues, and finicky tuning.

55 AX has awesome power, tried it with MK alliance 50. Pulls the plane like a rocket. But if your looking for torque and slower downlines nothing beats the YS 63. The problem with 2 strokes is you need to mount your fuel tank more or less the same level with the engines carb or else you will flood the engine during inverted manuevers.

Not if you use a pressure regulator, you can also move the tank back too the C of G, the one in the pic is by Webra.
