Turbine Found/Bush Hawk?
Technical and practical discussion about specific aircraft types such as Cessna 180, Maule M7, et al. Please read and search carefully before posting, as many popular topics have already been discussed.
Could an Allison 250 Turbine be mated to a BushHawk taildragger and yet be a better value than a Soloy 206, beaver, or caravan?

hmmm, I wonder... I'll ask my buddy who has a bushhawk. The problem with most soloy, 206/207 is the fuel tanks. They dont have aux. fuel pumps in the tips so when you're low on fuel and you enter a circuit, there is high risk of engine failure when banking...believe me, its happened many times (i speak from experience in one case) ...I'm sure a quick google search will reveal few reports. The good thing about the soloy is you might as well call them rotary aircrafts!! they can climb! I flew to the soloy factory in Olympia, WA in 99' and saw their caravan prototype...it was called the Pathfinder 21... a stretched out caravan with two coupled soloy turbines up front...wicked aircraft but the project never took off... i'll see if I can dig out some photos.
