The IO-550 is not a standard engine for the RV-10.
I have seen this one as well , 200HP is a little underpowered for an RV10 isn’t it ?
Originally Vans had a 210hp engine option. Continental IO-360 6 cylinder engine. As I understand it, that engine option wasn't very popular, so they dropped support. A 200hp turboprop, is probably quite comparable to a 210hp piston engine. It probably takes more than 10hp to overcome cooling drag that's absent with a turboprop!
Greetings ,
I found an RV Kit that I am willing to purchase next week or so ,
I was wondering if there are any alternatives to the expensive PBS TP100 engine?
I appreciate your input and advice .

I’ve always wanted a turboprop , It is now stuck to my head , somehow i have to make it happen , when i searched online , the only close to reliable turbo-prop engine i could find was the PBS aero 240HP , and apparently there is already an RV10 that’s flying with this configuration ,
