I would love any comments or criticisms of this turbine

install.

Hans, It seems like they are doing a good job on machining. I wonder where they will cary enough fuel in the helicopter to feed the thing. I have one of these generator turbines in the shop at home a guy wanted to convert. The gearbox is nice, but the turbine is a very sloppy unit designed to be used by the military and have damage tolerance. They set up camps where a oil tank truck is backed up to the gen and hooked up. No concern for fuel at all! I wish them well, but Paul and others have run the numbers for machines like this and it just doesn't work out. You could do 15 minute flights with no worries though. Bill Jepson
