Nice looking.

At full power it is around 110HP but it has 320 fp. Torque. Turbines out clime pistons because of the torque. The 912 has 80 FP torque.

Thnaks for your reply!!!
Your plane looks great, do you know the HP that this turboprop delivers?

The JFS100-13 sells for around 4500$ for a good one if you can find one. By the time you finish the conversion it will cost about the same as a 912 but the fuel burn is allot more.

Just excellent Scott, I've been viewing the pix on the Zenair site for years, and today filled with excitment to see your link and vid's of the test regime. Should I put the 601 FWF kit on my Xmas wish list? Best Regards, Chris. PS, I always thought a turboprop 701 with tail wheel would look something like a Pilatus Porter...
Comment by Scott Ehni on February 11, 2010 at 4:20pm
The turbine can burn up to 20gph but we have tested on the dino and cross checked with a rotax powered 701 and project 9 to 10 gph at cruse. We hope to start flight testing this spring and I will post the real numbers.You can go to you-tube and type ehpro to see it run on the test stand and the dino.
