Chris,
Your questions below in italics, with my answers following:
Prop size: ..26x10
Max RPM: 6500
weight of engine (incl muffler, ignition, ign battery, drive hub etc) :..2.6kg
weight saved by not using the original ignition: Circa 350 grams
engine thrust: Unlknown
cost of engine (as you go it): See post #1 (Free)
cost of parts added:…….Unknown.
weight of Klemm plane:……..22kg.

Additional questions:
1) Did you run the chainsaw before you pulled it apart? If so, how did it run?
2) What was the condition of the cylinder lining?
3) How much running had this engine had before you got it?

These three questions are redundant. The engine was completely rebuilt due to damage already explained.

4) How much gas does it burn in say 10 minutes of flying?
Estimate 200 mls.5) Are you on 2.4 GHz or 72 MHz ?.........2.4 ghz.
6) What other props did you try?..............None.
