Manning, was a lightweight motor-glider. Manning was a designer of flying boats and decided to try a simpler project.\n\nThe Wren was a single-engined high-wing monoplane with an empty weight of only 232 lb (105 kg). The first aircraft (Serial Number J6973) was built in 1921 for the Air Ministry. Interest in building very light aircraft was encouraged at the time by a £500 prize offered by the Duke of Sutherland (who was the Under-Secretary of State for Air).\n\nThe entrants had to build the most economical light single-seat aircraft. Another incentive was a £1,000 prize offered by the Daily Mail for the longest flight by a motor-glider with an engine of not more than 750 cc. Two aircraft were built for the 1923 Lympne light aircraft trials in October 1923.\n\nThe Wren shared the first prize with the ANEC I when it covered 87.5 miles (140.8 km) on one Imperial gallon (4.5 litres) of fuel.\n\nIn 1957 the third aircraft was rebuilt using parts of the second aircraft. It is still airworthy and is on public display at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden Aerodrome in Bedfordshire.\n\nFeatures\n\n3D model built from scratch\n\n3D propeller blur\n\nCustom engine sounds from the real aircraft\n\nCustom dirt and grime decals\n\nEleven paint schemes (eight fictional, but in keeping with the era)\n\nThree different rudder configurations\n\nHidden GPS and radio stack\n\nThree launch methods (tow, winch and standard take-off) - winch and tow were never an option but it has been bungeed\n\nFully VR compatible\n\nAnimated clipboard with 'Pilot's Notes'\n\nFull PBR textures\n\nEngine vibration animations\n\nEngine pushrod animations\n\nLanding gear bungee animations\n\nTail skid animations\n\nCustom bump mapping of wing ribs and internal structure\n\nPocket compass with pitch and roll animations\n\nOil pulsator (visual only)\n\nCustom cockpit gauges\n\nABC engine made from scratch\n\nAnimated control cables (internal and external)\n\nPropeller click starter\n\nAccurate interior modelling (access to the real plane, Shuttleworth Collection)\n\n100 years old (October 1923)\n\nPlease choose your preferred launch method before launching the flight.\n\nFlight model should be set to MODERN in the settings menu.\n\n*New Features - MSFS 2024 only*\n\nModular\n\nLODs\n\nMSFS 2024 Avatars\n\nReduced download size\n\nReworked exterior textures\n\nVintage radio and transponder\n\nWalk-around pre-flight with interactive covers\n\nUpdated sounds\n\nNew options clipboard\n\nNew animations\n\nCockpit lighting (subtle)\n\nCustom tooltips (2024 style)\n\nChecklist (includes pre-flight & post-flight)\n\nEFB\n\n2024 propeller animation", "summary": "The Wren, designed by W.O.
