After a year of fitting and testing, and finding parts that would work, the AT802U finally flew with the Kingtech turboprop. The engine flew this 50 pound plane with no issues. I wish the software had some type of feedback system that could be used with the telemetry to give us the engine / prop rpms. I never got the engine about 70% on the throttle and she took off in less than 200 feet with no flaps. This was a great base model for my first turboprop airplane. The taildragger configuration makes it a little tricky but for a good pilot it would be no issue.
