Would love to have an RV-10 with the TP-100, but with side mounted control sticks instead of between the legs sticks. Would also like to have the latest/lightest sound dampening insulation applied everywhere possible underneath the trim, panels, carpets, etc. Would make for a very nice 4-place GA low wing aircraft!

what i like about this is the FADEC, no need to screw around with the mixture or worry about over torque

Love the sound of a Turbine engine. Sounds just like a Jet.

I'm glad we are starting to see alternatives to av gas.  Very cool setup in this RV, from the pictures I've seen the RV-10 looks much better with the longer turboprop cowl.   I've heard this engine will be priced right around $115, 000...very reasonable for a zero time turboprop.  Any chance of in-flight footage in the future?

could you do reverse thrust with prop pitch?

What kind of hourly fuel consumption are you getting with this setup?

Funny it sounds like an APU/fight jet.

That prop is spinning the opposite direction to what they normally do. Isn't it?

this aircraft makes no sense.  Non pressurized so it's intended to stay low where the turbine engine is less efficient.  Even if you add an aux fuel tank you might have 65 gals of fuel max.  A recip will beat this thing on just about significant cross country. The RV10 is a Vne 200kt aircraft with fixed gear so the extra hp -if there is any- can not be used efficiently.   Sorry but this project is doomed.
