So you are going to switch to this and need to dispose of your
Lycasaurus to fund this. Of course W&B and fuel capacity will need
some minor adjustments.

Not for me thanks. Just thought it was interesting. The 210k cost difference, fuel burn difference, insurance difference, etc, just doesn't add up to me.
Not that anything in aviation makes sense, but if gotta have a turbine, you can buy an MU-2 for the cost of that motor.

I didn't see it at SNF, but I'm surprised at the weight - only 128 pounds before accessories. A 17 to 1 gear reduction, so the gearbox should be included in the 128 pounds.

I saw it at SnF. It was pretty impressive, and there was a ton of room around the engine--especially the back.
I would love to have one, but I think it might be a bit pricey.

And thirsty too... I seem to recall ~17 GPH of JetA. I have a long taxi at 2.3 GPH. 17 GPH would not be very economical.
