Joachim, It might be difficult for someone in South America to locate a 1960s Chevrolet Corvair engine. Maybe a turbo VW or at least a 2180? Or maybe the smaller aircraft engines, like the O-200 or C-85? Eduardo, Please tell us how many beers you drink before you write so we'll know how many to drink when we read your message. Thanks Frank Ross in East Anglia, England, UK

At your elevation (2820 meter) roughly about 9000 feet I believe you won't be able to climb out of ground effect. I feel you need a Corvair engine. Others, please chime in here!
