I would say it depends on your elevation. An OS 120 should be able to torque roll that plane.

If anyone else has a comment, I did the conversion and it's about 8 lbs.

3D aerobatics are about thrust vs. weight in some cases like hovering and torque rolling. Your plane weighs about 8 lbs., so 8 lbs. = 3.6 kg if my math is correct.

I don't think you have any power missing, it all depends on the propellor your using as well, you will want a large diameter prop, so you have some good thrust
