Just out of general interest what is the performance like of these turbine conversions on one engine? I used to fly a Turbine Islands, obviously considerably smaller, and when simulating engine failure during LPC and OPC checks it was very difficult to get it to climb. I suspect in the real world a genuine engine failure shortly after take off would have left me looking for somewhere to force land.
well this particular mod had the same rated power from the PT-6 as it did with with the Wright Cyclone, or Pratt Whitney engine...so Im sure it wasn't an exceptional engine out performer
