The most difficult part of this build is believing that you took the day off of work AND your wife made you guys lunch!!!

If I did that and my wife made lunch, I would hire a food tester to try it first.

Wren MKII upgraded.

Hello all

We have now run up both of the little wrens and all went well. A couple of points to be aware of:

1) Make sure the wire is pulled out on the glowplag a good 2mm as our first one would not start immediatly but that soon fixed it
2) We also found that we needed to crank the glowplug power up to about 42 from the factory setting of 35..

By the time we got the second one running it was starting to get dark and my goodnes the tail cone glows at WOT mind you temp was only reading 600 degrees and with a top temp of 800 I was happy with that.

Generally very please now on to getting on with the plane build

Dennis and Pete
