What is the consensus on turbine powerplant? I have an E-turbax on 12S but want to go turbine.
Wren 44 Gold, Wren 54 MkII/III, P-60SE or someting else?
Love my little Hawk and would love to keep it going!

I have the wren 54 MKII in it now as the wren was the turbine I had planned for it, but was being rebuilt at the time, and I just temp fitted the P60 to get it flying.
The Wren being shorter suits my tank setup, it is a couple of ozs heavier but not noticeable, but I can get about a minute extra on the same fuel which helps as it was only about 5:30 minutes with the P60.
Wren 54/P60 will give you better choice later on if you decide on something else.
I am very happy with the setup I have now, weight, CG, flap angles etc, always now use first stage flap on takeoff, and the crow on landing with full flap is very good, and it has very good flying characteristics with no signs at all of dropping a wing even when I got one landing a bit slower than I had planned
