They make turbine jet engines for model airplanes now. I even

someone attaching a ring gear to the impeller and making a turbo

out of it. So a turbo prop C 150 would not be impossible.


Someone made a turbojet powered Cri-Cri (a single seat aircraft

normally
powered by two small two-stroke engines on small pylons off the

nose).
The cheapest twinjet time in the world!

Yes, the turbojet Cri-Cri was powered by two model airplane turbines,
the largest available. I think they were over 30 lbs thrust each.
