Hey Guys,
                      I need an engine of about 100 HP to go on an

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.

Charles,

  At what stage is your project?  I expect my single rotor to fly in my AVID
within a year. It is 12A based and should develop 100hp at 7500RPM. FF
weight of 170lb seems to be possible. The redrive is a HIRTH, which allows
for a nice range of ratios.
The test version is running now and there is no indication of any major
problems, so far.
A 13B based version should do 125hp at correspondingly more wheight.

This is the aluminum end housing project I mentioned.
