Turbine Kitfox? Oh yes!

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...

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.

Mom: So Billy, what do you want to be when you grow up.
Billy: I want to be a pilot!
Mom: Sorry Billy, you can’t do both.

[Floog]

Good one! That definitely applied to me. I never grew up. No worries.
