‪@TurbineMoose‬ 

Similar idea for sure - Murphy Moose aircraft had been upgraded to turbine power long before Draco was born - but only very few. While Draco was awesome for pushing the absolute envelope of performance, the concept behind the TMCX T-Moose is of a more practical nature: Upgrade the capable airframe with a lower-cost used PT6A-20 and create a process that remains quickly duplicatable while maintaining maximum affordability. To address the likely operating conditions of a typical Murphy Moose, TMCX and Cascade Aircraft Conversions designed an engine mount, composites and panels with proper air filtration specifically for this aircraft rather than cobbling something together with an existing King Air mount. With emphasis on strength, safety and durability of the design rather than compromising for the sake of squeezing another drop of performance, this transformation allows a wide-range flexibility in T-Moose versatility to include general, back-country and float operations. The way we see it, the TMCX T-Moose maximizes the potential of the original designer's vision for this aircraft.

www.murphyair.com/moose/ has some data although take off data they posted was for lightly loaded. Full gross take-off roll was about 300 ft. @ 4100 ft density altitude. Cruise is 160mph indicated just under caution all day long @ 25 gph and at higher altitudes up to rated ceilings (with actual cruise speed much higher.) Endurance depends on configuration (different wing tank options). I would check TMCX facebook page for more info facebook.com/search/top?q=tmcx%3A%20turbine%20motor%20conversions

Yes - we will soon perform testing with an Avia 99" 3-blade propeller on floats, although we will also test the performance of the 93" as well. We have already performed some testing with 104" propeller setups with excellent results, and some owners may choose to go that route.

Yes, this has beta capability which is a substantial aspect of the landing performance improvement over the M-14.
