Marine OPS 67 engine in airplane ? possible ?
 
Hi to everyone.
I am from Spain. I have a SF jaguar aircraft. I am using an OPS 60 (weigths 580g) with this plain. I calculated this engine has aprox 2hp. It's moving a 11x7 at 14300 RPM (in ground) with a tuned exhaust. Aprox. the aircraft reaches 160km/h, but I want more speed.
I am wondering if it would be possible to install an OPS 67 marine engine, which has 4 hp (aprox) and can spin 22000RPM. So I suppose it could move the 11X7 aprox. at 16000-17000 RPM making my aircraft to reach the 200km/h aprox.
I need help and suggestions with this project...

If it wouldn't be possible to use this engine, which engine could I use. I think that OS 91fx has 2,8 hp, but it is a little bit expensive. How about GWS75 (which has 2,5hp) or Supertigre 90??

Thanks sorry for my english.

He's already decided in one of the other threads in which he posted this question that it's a bad idea to use this engine in a plane.
