Hi!
First or all...The plane is just around 230cm in span and thus a suitable engine for it would be a 15-17cc (.91 -1.00) four stroke swinging a 16x4 APC or 16x6 prop. And with those engines it whould be aerobatic...
The gas engine you have looks way to large and bullky and the prop is no good performance wise!
The best plastic props on the market are APC, RAM and Graupner G-Sonic (not the old grey blunt tip version though)..
A suitable gas /oil mix is 2-3% oil , that is 2-3 centiliter to one liter of gas..
