REFLECTOR: engine....

[Alex]

Problem is the fuel is gone really fast- I think there have been 2 other
Velo's with TP installations- both crashed from fuel exhaustion- not saying
it is not workable,  and it sure is cool and all, just not really practical-
VNE will still be the same- even if you get 4000 fpm climb.

Matt,

I am thinking about going turboprop on my plane.  I have looked at the 250,
PT-6, Innodyne and any others that I can get info on.  I would be interested
in any info you may have on available engines.  I am building an XLRG and I
am about a year away from installing an engine so I have plenty of time yet.

I live in Lynnwood, Washington.
