He sent the Wren back to England and the company turned the exhaust at a upward angle to prevent the hot exhaust from getting the wings to hot again. I believe the exhaust now are a 45 degree angle upward. The Wren co. also did some updates to the motor as they have some issues on throttle response and ect. Just thought i would let you know.
Thanks for the info, will deffinately look into it... I will speak with Hayes Hutchins, as he has quite a few of these and will probably have things to tell me on this issue.
