I don't see why it wouldn't. The Score is pretty large and not particularly lightweight. I've seen them fly pretty well with ST 51's and Enya 61's. The PA seems like a good fit.

I had an Enya 61 in my Score and it was an excellent match. The PA should be just as good. If it is rear exhaust there may be an issue getting the header and pipe  to fit below the fuselage since it is not designed with a pipe tunnel. If the PA is side exhaust (as my Enya is) then no problem. Or use a header muffler without a pipe if RE.

 I appreciate your reply`s. The engine I have is a rear exhaust and I will be buying a Header muffler as suggested by Mike.  I do have a tuned pipe system but will save it for another project. I just want to know if  I can handle a big stunter with a PA.61.
