Does anyone have any experience with the Maule with the Allison turbine

You might also want to check into the status of the diesel they've been
trying to get certified. That should be a reasonably priced aircraft
with performance similar to the 235 but using jet-A. I spoke with Ray
Maule about it last year, and he said it was going well, but I don't see
anything about it on their web site anymore.

From AvWeb:

This week at OSH, Maule debuted an M-9 fitted with SMA's SR 305-230 aerodiesel,
which was first certified in Europe a while ago and is now poised to make
inroads in the U.S.
