Hey Guys,
                      I need an engine of about 100 HP to go on an Horizon
Aircraft that I'm building. Anyone know anything ?.

                                                                         Thanks,

What is the allowable engine weight on an Horizon Aircraft?
A Midwest 2 rotor now owned by Diamond Aircraft is 100 HP and weighs
about 110 pounds. Contact them for price and availability.

Yes there is but it is heavy.
Engine weight? Not gross weight? Usually engine weight is about one sixth
of gross weight. That would make your engine weight under 190 pounds 
firewall forward.  I don't think you will get a one rotor Mazda under
190 pounds firewall forward. People are working on aluminum end housings
to cut the weight but it is going to take awhile.
