Default RE: Webra Speed 50

OK Its 3:35 PM and the temp is 48 degrees. I just got back from the field. Assembled the plane,
fueled it up, did preflight check, started Webra, warmed up, seemed to be running pretty good. Took off and flew for about 6 minutes at several throttle speeds did some rolls and loops and actually made a powered landing! Fiddled around the field a bit, refueled, started Webra, took off climbed to about 40 feet made a right turn, cut throttle to 1/2 and the engine died. Made the 2nd right turn into the slight wind, barely made it back to the field and kind of plopped the plane in and broke off the landing gear. End of story. I have an OS 46 FX, thinking obout putting this engine on if it is not to much work. But I don't think the OS will have the power to take the plane unlimited vertical the way the Webra does. Any ideas to make the Webra run correctly is appreicated.
