I have a Wren MKIII.

I was and am new to turbines. I bought it as a kit, built it in 4 hours, it started first time, and has every time since then.

I know a friend of mine went to the Wren open day and 8 engines were built during the day and 8 started and ran perfectly.

The weight of these engines tends to be lower than others, the back up absolutely fine, and it is a nice English colour!!!

Building it myself gave me a bit more confidence about how it works and saved me a bit of cash.

I have not operated any other make, but based on my own experiences, I think the Wren is very difficult to beat in value for money terms.
