Default Weston Magnum R

I just bought a couple Magnum Rs.
One looks like brand new and one has a few dings, I decided to try that one first.
There is a MVVS 65 installed, which seems like a good idea. It has a tuned pipe, but didn't seem to make much static thrust. Hand launching with no wind resulting in a slow descent and a broken prop. I flew it before and had some head wind, it would pick up enough speed then.

I noticed there was a 9X8 APC installed, I don't know about this engine, but this seems too small. Any suggestions? I never had a MVVS engine, but it does fire right up and runs great.

thanks
