Wren Turbine Open day
Folks,
Dont forget for all those who can attend:- The next Open Day will be on Sunday 13th July from 10am to 4pm.
You can expect to see people building Mk 4 kits, and people are bringing engines for repairs (labour is free on Open Day, you only pay for parts). So if you've always wanted to see what's inside a turbine, here's your chance. No need to book, no charge, just turn up on Sunday.
All the latest engines will be on show, the 44 turboprop will be run ... and best of all, **I have heard that there will be a 10% discount for engine sales on Open Day. Don't miss it! all this and cakes too.
I believe Ron Ballard, Wren's U.S. rep will be in attendance also.
Alistair.

And the weather forecast doesn't look too bad, certainly better than some we've had recently! Ron Ballard is here with us at Wren now and finding the weather considerably cooler and less humid than Indiana. We're all very busy getting ready for Sunday and look forward to seeing many old and new friends on the day.

RE: Wren Turbine Open day
Sara,
Wish I could come from the states. Is Ron going to have 'Open Days' and will you send him some 'cakes' to distribute?
What exactly is the Mk 4 kit: the latest revision of the '54 kit (14lbs), or (hint) a preliminary kit of the Super Sport (17-19lbs)?

Maybe Ron will have an Open Day sometime, but it will need a lot of planning so there won't be one this year. As for the cakes ... it's more likely to be grilled wings and tenderloin!
The Mk 4 kit is the latest revision of the 54. The main improvement is that it is easier to build as the compressor clearance is larger, although it also seems to have a little more power and to run cooler.
Sorry to disappoint you, Larry, but there won't be a kit of the SuperSport. It has very tight tolerances and requires skill, experience and and special equipment to build it.
