Data?

The fuel control and prop set up from what I know sounds very experimental.

More like very dangerous from what I know!
Seems to me, as exiting as it would be to have the first flying turbine -8, nearly a month would not have gone by with absolutely no more information what so ever. Not even a wimper about any more flights, going good, going bad, nothing! Makes you kinda wonder what's been going on! Someone surely has to know something, doesn't make since they wouldn't be talking about it.

It's coming....
Hi Billy and others,
I decided to take it on myself to contact the owner of the RV 8T and after a little small talk, informed me that it will be sporting new airscoops shortly since the NACA ducts couldn't provide the necessary 24 cu. ft./min the engine needs. He said that it was incredibly smooth and a great flying airplane.
I encouraged him to visit this site, join the forum and let us know. He said he would so expect him here in a day or two.
Regards,

Negative.....
Hi Cam,
It's been around two weeks since I had that brief conversation with him. He sounds a bit like a "Phleg"........very private, so I'm having second thoughts about just how to approach him since he hasn't given us anything although he said he would. I do know that he is party to the development and possible marketing structure as a business venture from the indications he gave..........Stay tuned........
