Do you think the weight is the issue or the thrust?
The weight of the engine is a problem. There is not enough structure at the rear fuse. You can beef it up as many have done for turbine applications, but with a gasoline engine it will be heavy and will be a dog due to insufficient rpm.

The fuji is only slightly heavier than a turbine, and it spins at 11K - its the highest reving gasser - that why I picked it. I guess I just need to finish it and get her in the air and she how it performs.
