saw this last weekend. an old friend of is designing the electronic controls

320 hp rolls royce-allison gas turbine but if that's not quite . enough you can upgrade to the 420hp model. they're built about 20 miles away from me. these guys are doing some wild stuff. a 10 sec mini cooper, 318 hp outboard motor, air boats, race boats, everything turbine powered. he's the guy that built jay lenos bike.

Next time you fly and you notice the wings flapping a little, just think of the testing that is performed to design a wing.

That's expensive power.
My C20B burns about $150 per hour of Jet A fuel.



And the overhaul will run about $90k.

So sorry to hear John Fitch passed away yesterday. The picture is from 2006 with my father and John along with the 300SL that graced our Garage for 30+ years..
