Default RE: New 15cc engine RCGF beam mount

ORIGINAL: RBean

I have an RCGF 15 in a Graupner 60 size. (How and why I aquired the engine is another matter). Now that it is broken in the power is adequite, but could use more. It was turning a 14-6 MA prop 10,000 rpm. Thought that was too much, probably over 11,000 unloaded in the air so went to 14-8. It turns 8,300 rpm. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't. DLE 20 is about the same weight and only slightly larger dimentions, with goobs more power.
Attached are pictures of what has happened to mine.
They sit in upload for 15 minutes so I gave up -sorry
