Wow...
Why? :laff:
Not sure why - one story I heard was that Don Luscombe, back in the 50's, wanted to put a small turbine on the Luscombe 8 airframe. This example was done by the Don Luscombe Historical Society. It is a 150shp turbine and the airplane, from what I have read, performs like a Luscombe with a 150 HP Lycoming. I have some time in a 150hp Lyc. Luscombe and they kick tail. Not sure what the 150hp turbine costs, but I I imagine that for reliability, ease of getting fuel, etc it would be cool to have one. There was also a guy that put a turbine on a Great Lakes and another that put a turbine on a Bucker Jungmeister.
