Harry C,
I might agree with your statement that people may be speculating , however its very unfair that you say that this whole episode is only about "someone with a grudge".
There are about 35 compressor failures reported on this forum , all Wren160.
I've had 2 failures at 112K RPM , the turbine has never got past its first service interval, failure has been identical in both incidents.
The first time the broken compressor was replaced under warranty with yet another defective compressor which ran for sometime and failed again in the identical manner.
Wren knew at that time that they had an issue with the compressor.
If Wren can defend themselves they should !
All the reported incidents on the 160 are factual , are you trying to wish that away like Wren would like to ?
Wren had every opportunity to sort it out or even give a rational explanation and they never came up with the truth either personally to me by email or on a public forum.
So when do you expect to hear Wrens side of the story ?
The simple fact is the 160 was/is a defective design.
However you are right about one thing though , there IS only one side of the story & that is about the guys with broken turbines , there isn't another side to it.
