Status: offline 		 Hello,
Could some one please tell me if any one makes Model Turboprop Planes for sale as an ARF.
I do realize that Comparf makes a few models suited for the turboprop, but is there any other manufacturers out there that make models suited for turboprops.
Is there any ARF suited for conversion to turboprops instead of gas engines.
This is a new side to the hobby for me, and I have never worked with Turboprops but since I absolutely love the readability of turbine power I am considering Just to keep my jets, get  a few turboprops, and getting rid of all my gas, methanol planes.
I guess im another one of those people hooked to the kero smell

Status: offline 		Hello Just. I will tell you that in the area I live in I have seen folks put turboprops in any airframe that you would see a gasser in. Mostly inYak 54 and 55. I'm sure that anything that would fly 3D and would stand up to 3d could be turbo-ised. The trick I see is just making sure you have the room to install a turboprop.

I don’t want to go and spent $3000+ for a composite frame to have to modify for a turbo prop.

Status: offline 		Try Mibo, think this is a kit/moulds they bought for the Raven, but as a company they are top notch....

Just out of curiosity does anyone have any photos of engine installation photos in an Extra, Edge, Yak they would like to share for me to see.

Status: offline 		If you decide to go the Mibo route be prepared to wait a long time to receive it! I ordered and paid for one back in December
And was guaranteed delivery the end of February, All I got was false promises on delivery dates! Eventually found out that he hasn't
Even started production of the new one's, then I decided to get a refund and after 2months of no e-mail replies I eventually got
My refund today.
