Without a horsepower limit for Light Sport Aircraft it seems that a

The GW limit of 1320 lbs (599kg) and max cruise speed of 120knots do
not seem restrictive for such a tug.

What do you consider a big engine?

A new, lightened Piper Pawnee (currently mt wt of 1288 lbs) would be
better than yet another high-wing lashup with horrible visibility from
the cockpit.
