Nice NO1! As you may know, there were a couple of companies performing turbine conversions of the full scale aircraft. I never flew one, but they claim performance very close to Cessna's entry level turboprop. Even if performance didn't surpass the original, just eliminating the finicky
geared, piston engines would have been an advantage. It's to me, always been the most attractive of the cabin class twins available.

I really appreciate the building thread, as I've been wanting to build one of these a long time!
With the price of large electric systems becoming more reasonable(as long as you don't li-poly), it may be time for me to give it a go.

Thanks again for the thread!
