Default In wait for fetherlite 22...

Good evening friends.
This past monday i bought fetherlite 22cc converted engine that was just cut out and prop adapter snaped on.I havent got it yet but guy said it will need to be trimemd prettier.
Anyways,tonite i went flying my spad and crashed the hell out of it Of course nothing happened with alluminum L-channel fuse but the wing broke in two right in da center..I'll fix it easy ,,no problems,BUT i think it happened in a ways because my spad was a little underpowered.I took off and elevated about 50-75 yards and then stalled...nose went up ,sort like in those 'ucando' and it stalled for a few moments and then went down.If i had a little more "juice" in my little engine i believe i would of been able to pull it out of stall but heck,,around 11 lbs plane powered by .61 engine is a little underpowered...I think...
I am all excited 'bout engine coming in..Will inspect it and hopefully mount it on my spad..Then.... 'HOLD ON TO YOUR NUTS AND SCREWS!'
I was wondering if anyone here using such engine and what the engine mounts looks like..My fuse is a flat piece of wood with two l'channells attached so if any engine mounts that can be mounted on flat surface,please post some pics.

Thanks ahead...
