Ken... I'm not pushing a turbine....Only giving you my experience, which is based solely on Jet Aerobatics competition. I have been using a KingTech 235 G4+ and extremely happy with it. Next month (November) I have had it for 5 years and it was originally in a Leonardo and then moved over to my Rebel Pro. It has won the Jet Nationals previously in the Silver class and gives me plenty of options of when to put in power for upline vertical maneuvers. The residual thrust on landing takes a little time to bleed off airspeed as I have 55° flaps....I think with 60° it would be perfect.

I am not 100% sure if KT services presently in the US as previously they did...however, the turbines are sent to California and they handle it from there. In the 5 years of operation, I have only had a temperature sensor going out....all the other times, I start and go fly/practice.

I have not had any issues with service.
Best regards,
Wayne
