I realize that what the heat sinks are for. But as I have just lost a 100cc airframe on smart fly and dual life I am way over worried.

It says there, if I read that correctly, is that the switch is rated 5A continuous... barely enough for a 30cc plane... you want at least 4x that on a 100cc plane imo.
Smartfly (some of them... methinks the one you should want) have a soft switch capability- the switch handles none of the load. Otherwise check out Wolverine, rated at 32A continuous, its mosfets will do 4x that intermittent.
Beware that as temperature goes up, current carrying of semiconductors goes down, and few are rated for use above 75c, so whatever the ambient spec current, zero amps at 75*C.
