Anyone try doing this before?
Hi All,
Just wondering if a turboprop (like from Jetcat USA) would work for 3D in a plane like a Carden Cuda, or if anybody has tried it before.
Not sure how the throttle response would be, but the power would be insane. Over 55 lbs of thrust with a 27 inch prop.(4.9 lb. engine) Might be something to try if someone has money.
You guys think it would work? Would be something very different.

Awesome, any links? Also, how do you guys think that it would 3D with a little extra weight? (not really sure on the exact weight.

I think the power/weight wont be too much of an issue. But the gearbox spitting off the front under gyroscpoic loads may present a little problem
