You are joking, right?
Look, the Maule is a fine airplane and does it's thing well, which is short
field and grass operations... It is not a turbine bird, and installing one
is a waste of money... Unless you are going into the bush of africa or asia
where 100LL is not available, stick to the Lycoming...

Does anyone have any experience with the Maule with the Allison turbine
engine ? The Maule with the Lycombing IO-540 is $170.M , where the
MT7-420 is going for $470.M new. I would have to add about $75.M in
options for either bird. What do you think about the Allison turbine in
a Maule ?

Thanks
