Watson ~Yukon goes Turbine (Turbo-Prop)

John Kramer · Post by **John Kramer** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 2:06 pm

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts regarding the 120 hp
turbo-prop engine Watson is touting? I can't quite be sure they're
actually selling them.

145 lbs
120hp @ 2800 prop rpm
owner maintainable and rebuildable
6000 hrs tbo
runs on used dirty french fry grease

http://www.watsonflight.ca/maintenance.htm

Is it once again too good to be true?

I am aware that it doesn't qualify under USA Sport Pilot rules, but
impressive specs.

John...

Well when all the pictures of it are on a cart I suspect it hasn't flown
yet. Also 7.5gph sounds awfully optomistic for a turbine.
