Is there HOPE.... of TURBINE POWER.

Almost forgot... over on Peter's webpages, there was the Basler conversion, which looked pretty spiffy compared to the Stolifter.

The probable reason none of these 'conversions' caught on was their very high R&D initial costs, plus fairly high hourly operating costs.

Be happy with your TCM's... they're more fuel efficient. Besides, what other pressurized light plane do you know of equipped with R/STOL, that can touchdown -or liftoff- at 44 knots and cruise at FL200 at 205+ Knots, that can be had for anywhere between $79,000 and $225,000? I only see the Skymaster in my 'viewer!'
