I think you would need at least a 70mm fan but most likely a 90mm to hit the kind of speeds you want. I fly with 64mm fans in pretty light weight aircraft and just don't think they would have the amount of thrust your needing. I could be wrong but would be surprised.
The Chaparral fans were powered by a snowmobile engine.Well that makes a lot more sense! I guess that is why I am still learning.
