Sara,

After building the kit at home, do we have to send it back to Wren HQ to have it balanced ? I'm asking the question as sending this engine by insured mail is very expensive.

Thanks.

No, there has never been a requirement to send Wren kit engines back for balancing. The shaft and turbine are pre-balanced and a final balance is not necessary.

No, it's not the 54 Mk4, Mark! It doesn't have an official name yet but it's a derivation of the XL200. It was intended as a 28 pound, 120-type engine to fill the gap in our range between the SuperSport and XL200 but it's gone over the spec - though you could always turn it down ...

Well done guys (and Sara) most Wren turbines are under stated performance wise anyway.

Hi
I would expect Wren to work their usual magic and that 33lb thrust is only the start.
