Default R/C Skydiving Jump Plane, advice please!

I've got an old K&B 61 laying around, instead of trading it I would like advice on the best match for the engine in a r/c skydiving jump plane.

How about putting the 61 in a Telemaster 40? I have flown a Senior Falcon on this engine, which is a little heavier than the Tele 40 and the same size, btw.

Other threads seem to indicate a preference of engine size over plane size for this application. If that's the case then maybe I'll try it.

What say y'all?

I think the best setup I have seen in this size range for skydiving has been the Kadet Senior. Lots of lift and the 60 size engine will give you the power you want to haul up jumpers.
