Negative Torque System | Horsepower Limiting | SRL
TURBO COMMANDER
The TPE331 can be intimidating. We have taught hundreds of pilots this power-plant. After experiencing our unique approach to training, you will feel comfortable with all aspects of its operation. We will teach the differences of the -5, -10T and the "true" -10 variants.
