I do not get it.  I am a turbine fan and thought long and hard about building a
Legacy with one.  But here is what stopped me.  Price per HP and fuel burn.  A
turbine is just like a normally aspirated engine, it looses power the higher it
goes.  Having said that why would you trade 300 HP of Cont or Lycon power for
the same turbine power with much higher fuel burn.  TBO is not a good enough
answer.  How many experimental planes have run out a cont. 550?  It does sound
cool.

Always looking for more power,
