An addendum to my comment:
If you happen to have a Maule or a Porter just sitting around and you are not using it you can send it to me.

If you have the skills and the right airplane......................
. Maule M7 Turbos an Pilatus Porters are probable the 2 most amazing mass production airplanes ever.
(and I am not so sure about the Mass Production thing...if they made a whole bunch of them they would be less expensive and I would have a chance of owning one...not gonna happen)

Spettacolo...merda...

@TheDaveyht3 I agree

Beta is not thrust reverse. It is flat pitch which means no thrust in either direction. You do not reverse the engine, it has a propeller on it which is controlled by a governor that changes the pitch of the blades, just like any plane that has a constant speed propellor except on turbo prop you can go through beta and into reverse.

how do these compare to a turbo "OTTER"

Sorry but i didn't hear beta mode (thrust reverse) until he was on the ground.
I love seeing a true "stick" fly a plane. It's freaking art. Now,,,tell me,,,where do I have to relocate to so I can fly these birds with you guys?
