  Gary,
  
  I have often thought the best engine for the ES turbine would be the
  Rolls Royce C20R.  The problem is the reduction gearbox.  All of this is
  available through Soloy Conversions but the engine alone could be $300K.
  I think a military variant could be located but the combining gearbox is
  another serious chunk of chage.
  
  This engine produces 450 hp, 28 gph at sea level, very reliable and lots
  of parts.  It is the configuration that is available on the Cessna 206
  Soloy Conversion.  I had one of these airplanes and it was incredible.
