 Thought about a turbine early on.  Scott at Skysmith Ins. advised me of
 the insurance problem and Tim Ong noted that a turbine ES would become a
 2-place because of the increased fuel requirement.  I considered also
 the small increase in top speed and the large increase in purchase
 price, and decided to stay with 1,000 parts trying to tear themselves
 apart. My TSIO550 has had its own teething problems and the corpulata
 ain't sung yet, but we're getting there.
