Default O & R Compact III Conversion

Hello Everyone
I have recently purchased this engine on ebay. It is supposed to be 1 HP and without the flywheel weighs less than 2 Lbs. I would like to use it on an 8 ft. wingspan old timer and would like to know if anyone can offer an opinion as to how this may work on Gas/Methanol glow conversion. Could it swing a 16-6 prop at around 6000 rpm? Anyone with hands on experience? Can I substitute a regular model engine carburator instead of the original pumper carb? Any help and/or advice will be greatly appreciated.
