The Scottish Bandit is almost ready for gear install therefore one must have another model ready to go onto the building board

I hope David Gladwin is able to respond to Xantos's query as he operates two Bobcats in high temp conditions in Oz and has a lot of experience on the airframe. I still think a Supersport would give adequate performance due to its very low weight. By the time you take into account turbine weight and fuel load on a P120 I don't think the power / weight ratio would be all that different assuming the loss in performance is equal percentage wise on both turbines.

There is also a big difference in cost.
