Would be nice to have a turbo prop strapped to the back of one's gyro. Although a turboprop jet engine is extremely reliable, they are very noisy on the ground, and the last time I looked, a similar turboprop consumes about double the fuel per hour of a comparable piston engine. Having half your fuel endurance is going to limit your range big time. Increasing your fuel tank to double the size will bring other challenges to the design of a gyro.

Boy, I bet he has the cleanest hangar even though he has the kakest hair cut, do you think it was cut by the prop?
