Default Power Question For Cub

I have been given a FA-65 Saito.I have also went and watched a cub flyin last weekend and want one.Will the 65 be enough to pull an 81" wingspan cub around?It is listed as a 40 sized plane at 7 1/2 pounds.I wanted to make sure before I ordered it.Thanks for any info. It is the Thunder Tiger ARF on Towers site.

banjoairplane..........The Saito 65 will give you all the power you need, and then some if you want to fly the cub in a scale like manner.

I agree with Bob, the .65 will be more than enough. I flew the 81" GP Cub for years with a Saito .56 and even that engine flew it nice and scale. Enjoy!

Thanks guys,just wanted to make sure.The wingspan threw me off.I am used to my sport planes in the 40 size being a lot smaller.This will be my first scale.
