Mr. Lamar how are you?
I'll like to ask you some thing Mr. Lamar since you have more experience in
aviation than I do. What do you think about this engine " Hirth F30-FP24 it
produce 120hp and only weigh 101lb", not including alternator.

The Leon brother has in there Cozy IV 2 Isuzu engines producing 100hp.
They can maintain 8,000 feet with only one engine. Do you think the Hirth
F30-FP24 engine are suitable for the application I'm trying to make? This
engine are really small. They are aviation 2 cycle engine.

Yes I think they will work. I think two cycle engines would be a lot more 
reliable with a good EFI system that monitored EGT and CHT so the fuel injection
computer could richen it up in the event of bad temperature situation
to prevent seizure. The TBO would be much shorter than a rotary of course.
The fuel burn would also be much higher.
