Klemm 35 Spezial from Graupner with 20 ccm Engine

To be honest I am not too happy with the engine I choose for the Klemm . It is the GMS 1.20 BB Ringed, Horsepower: 3.3BHP @ 13,000 RPM with Bisson 1.20 Pitts Muffler. The problem with it is that it runs not very round even though I tried a lot of magic. Closed one pipe of the muffler, tried it with nitro and again it continued to die in the air. Au contraire the engine my friends Kumba and Vlade use in their Cessnas runs smoothly and they can fly on 1/4 throttle more than 20 min on one tank. It is the Magnum XLS-46 Ball Bearing ABC FSR. It's very silent and runs like a Swiss watch. Anyway for now my only choice is to make the best of this one engine I have.
