Sorry bout that, Scott. I
misinterpreted Good short field performance as max power take off. But,
as I said - so long as you understand the limitations of the no-boost control
approach and want the power on the top end, it’s certainly possible to do
it by correct sizing of the a/r of the turbine housing.

Ed;
I agree with what you posted, however I think you misread what I seek in my
plane:
I seek good short field
performance, and a substantial climb rate. After that I seek a strong cruise
for 1 to 2 hours in the 7,000 to 12,000 ft zone followed by rapid decent
without regard to shock cooling.
I accept the limitations inherent in my design. I will have
to limit boost during take off, and hopefully retain about 200 HP at about
12,000 ft. As I said, I'm only looking for a modest power boost at the upper
RPM range (where the propeller load is greatest) and to stay within the design
limits of the airframe and the reduction gear.
Later, I may change anything. For now, this is my attainable goal....I just
need to keep working on it until it flies....and beyond.
Scott
