Hi Jose,

I've been running a Wren 44TP for around 3 years mostly in my 134" 23Kg Fletcher FU 24 check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hjj_...7&feature=plcp

The Wren has been super reliable and not given me a moments problem over many flights so would highly recommend it....mine is still gas start but will upgrade to kero start at some stage.

I also have recently purchased the same Phoenix Tucano 60cc gas kit as you and planned to fit my 44TP into it in the coming months. Initial measure up shows the 44 should fit fairfly easily with little firewall modification.

Are you planning on doing a build thread?

Cheers..........Rene
