I just got off the phone with Charlie Sullivan (CEO Innodyn Aviation) and discussed the 255 hp turbine they have developed. They expect to have the RV-10 kit ready in 6-8 weeks. http://www.innodyn.com/ I have some concerns about the stability of Innodyn. Has anyone else investigated turbines?

Bottom line, there are no published performance numbers, after years of testing, only numbers extrapolated on paper and not taken from dyno testing. Many who follow their progress are very skeptical. But with that said we also want them to succeed. At 03:39 PM 1/27/2005 -0500, you wrote: >--> RV10-List message posted by: "Conti, Rick" > >What is the consensus on engine selections thus far?

I am concerned with what the fuel flow will be at altitudes to 10-12,000 ft.
