Jet A is 6.8 lbs / US gallon .
Cryptic bit on price at the bottom. $13000 euros for the 130HP model, but sounds like that is at TBO of 2000 hours, so not clear if that price is for the rebuild or a fresh engine.
Does it meet Lsa Requirements? Or does LSA need to be Piston engines?
I believe light sport has to be reciprocating engines only. Don't think the turbine qualifies then. JImChuk
LSA requires a piston engine and a fixed or ground adjustable prop.
A free turbine engine requires a feathering, constant speed prop and has no pistons... :cool:
Is there any video of that plane flying? I just wanna hear it! I was a turbine mechanic for years in the Marines. Was a long time ago. Think ... Journey, Doobie brothers, the Police, etc
Wheels, as a former turbine mechanic, can you confirm something I heard during my service.
"The only difference between turbine aircraft and turbine pilots is...
When the aircraft is shut down it stops whining."
Is this true?

That is actually true! Very few people know it though unless they have been on the flight line during a routine start up to avoid spin tach.
