hi there,

I am looking for a light engine between 33 and 40 hp, I'm not too found of two strokes engines as they seem to have tendency to seize and they need premixed gas/oil, also not too sure if they could wistand 3 hour flights @5000ft.
My design is of the multi-engine kind, thus when dividing power required by number of engines I come up with 33hp min and I have set a max to 40hp (max continuous)
I looked at the rotary engine, it looks very promising but I haven't found a 40hp version yet..
hope somebody can shed some light in !
