What is the story on these? Is the system as reliable as it claims? Anyone
know approximate operating costs?


V-speed numbers do not change with the installation of the turboprop engine.

Fuel consumption is higher. Unless you plan on flying in the teens with
oxygen, the only things you gain are smoother flight and higher
operating costs. (Not to mention the LONG nose to look out over!)
