Default Phoenix Giles 202

Well I just got home from flying my Phoenix Giles 202. This is only my second plane, but I think I am in love. I got this to be my low wing trainer before I fly my UCD .60. The plane is a joy to fly, just a little different than a trainer when it comes to turns.... ALOT FASTER! I am new to this, but I feel like this model needs more power. I am running a Tower .46 with a 11X6 prop. The plane is slower than my trainer was with the same engine and prop, but it is heavier.. Does anyone have any good suggestions for a prop/engine combo that would be better for this plane? Also can someone reccomend a better tail gear for this plane? Since I land on grass the stock bends every time.
