REFLECTOR: engine....

[Scott Baker]

Hal,
There is a builder assist group in BC that specializes in T50-BO-8 Boeing 
turbine installations.  They are building a Velocity XL and plan on using 
the turbine. http://www.gyrodynehelicopters.com/dash_history.htm
I understand that they have a few more units available with the appropriate 
propeller speed reduction drive.
Call me on Tuesday morning and I'll find the contact information.  This 
might be a good option for you since they are close, and ... if you live in 
Washington you have to go with a Boeing!
SB
