Marty,
I had an AirTrade TurboRaven - very nicely built and extremely light - almost a turbine 'hack' sort of model.
The only thing that puts me off Turboprops are the reliability. Whilst I haven't spoken to many, nearly all the owners in the UK I have chatted to had issues with them. I hoped I'd be different - I wasn't
