Question Which gas engine?

I want to replace a .61 glow engine with a 15cc gas. Does anybody have any recommendations on a good reliable brand and where is the best place to purchase one? I have also read that some people go up to 20cc to replace a .61 glow engine. The aircraft is just a typical sport plane with a 70 inch wing span. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks,
Brent

Pretty reasonably priced engine as well. What size prop are you running?

OS 15GT (spark ignition) Just completed t my initial test stand runs and am quite impressed, There are two others locally using them with good success.
