I had a Brillelli 46, and a few months ago, I had the same idea.. I wanted something inexepensive, fun to fly, and able to take a wind stronger than I like to fly my "good stuff" in...

Unfortunately, as you have found, the Giant Big Stick is about as big as they get, and its just too small for that size motor. You could probably force an engine this size in there, but then you'd have to put a ton of weight in the tail to balance. A 50cc engine is made for a plane in the 15 pound range, and most lighter planes just don't have a stiff enough firewall to support something that size.
