Won’t see too many operating with these donks anytime soon.

too costly not to mention that training is different to recip donks, plenty of pilots could easily cook these and repair bills would be very much ouch!

Ill stick to recip donks in my bug smashers and let someone else pay for my kero burning flying😂

Hard to judge. He was in cruise, 25/hr @ 11000 ft, I think he said. No indicated/true airspeed given.  No climb fuel consumption given. To make a useful comparison, the fuel consumption for a the whole trip needs to be used.

 

If it hold true to conventional wisdom, it wont come into its efficiency own, until it gets up into the high teens mid twenties. Then you have to go down the O2 or pressurisation track $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$😈
