I first thought it was a PhotoShop job but apparently not. If you want the TSIO 541, get a Duke. The Duke flies very well and is as tough as nails. I've read the 541 engines were quite finicky, as I'd expect from a high horsepower Lyc. in a close cowled airplane. IIRC the same engine was rated at 425hp in the P-Navajo? I think Dukes are tough looking planes; Rocket Engineering in Spokane does PT6A conversions for Dukes (beats an IO-720 IMHO) and had one in the works for a P-Baron, but there's not mention of it on their site.
