Not a great idea. Turboprops cost, even in the cheapest incarnation several
hundred thousand $s and the lowest powered engines available are really big

suitable though.


I saw a web site with turboprop based on one of the large model airplane
turbines, but can't find it now. It was attached to about a 50-60 inch
propeller.
