Meridian vs Jetprop
IO540, does the Meridian have the tail reinforcements as standard?
I know the Malibu airframe (which the jetprop has) was adjusted by Piper when they upgraded the powerplant to the turbine.
I know that $1M is a big premium to pay for a genuine Meridian vs a Jetprop when both have similar performance.
Would be a shame to lose the tail at high speed though.
