Hey Pulsar owners,

Got home excited to get moving on bringing my Pulsar to a flying state. Hard is it was, this meant removing the engine to change out the firewall for stainless amongst other thin ...

Hey Pulsar Builders,

Great to meet you all at the Pulsar reunion.

If anyone is interested I have some neat stuff available for your panel. I am brokering these for a friend as well as some item ...

Hey Pulsar 582 owners:

I came across an ad for a Pulsar XP a while ago which has since sold. Only the vendor had a Rotax 618 engine instead of a 912 (or 582).

NOTE: AT THE PUL ...

Hey Alex,

I plan on the same installation and I haven't figured out which one yet either. Are you planning on altitude hold as well? Are you retrofitting a Dynon by any chance? I've got my eye on t ...

Hey Pulsar pilots,

I'm arriving at 13:00 on the 22nd at MCI and I have a rental car booked. If anyone is going to be around at that time and wants to carpool, let me know.

Regards,
Chris

Thanks Dave... I'm not sure how they tried to release the blockage. All he said was they tried to reach it but came up against a wall. Whether that was a bend in the line or the actual blockage I don' ...

Hey Pulsar owners

Ran into a guy today who worked on my plane before I bought it and h told me I had a fuel problem.

Seems one of the vent lines was blocked They tried to poke through as far as ...

Thanks Dennis,

I have the westach dual fuel gauge, and one side is sticking full though the tank is empty. If I swap over to a Dynon Skyview, I'd like the fuel flow and quantity options. I'm worrie ...

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what sort of fuel senders were used in a standard Pulsar XP kit? Are they easy to service/replace?

Thanks
Chris

D180 looks like the way to go. However... Watched a very cool video on youtube about a guy in his Lancair Legacy. He lost his engine at 15,000 feet and had to descend through IMC using his synthetic v ...

Hi Sonja,

Part of the snag list for importing my Pulsar is the fuel system. I have to change over to the equivalent of hydraulic pressure lines, fire sleeved, and employ firewall fittings. Also, I ...

Dreaming a little about things I'd like to do with our Pulsar and putting in a Dynon is high on the list. Does anyone know what kind of weight savings can be had by eliminating a vacuum pump, associat ...

Hi Sonja,
Thanks for the great trip log! Regretfully I didn't make it this year but looking forward to flying my Pulsar in next summer.

One thing I am looking forward to is the reduced fuel consum ...

Okay, since there isn't much chat happening...thought this might make for interesting discussion.

so here's a longshot....

Seems that lightweight, fuel efficient affordable aircraft are going t ...

Ya, that's what I'm hearing now. I wonder if there are any link on Youtube to see some of these tests? Would make a compelling argument for changing to SS at the next opportunity!

Thanks for your e ...

I have a stainless steel firewall. It would make sense to remove the aluminum, it does nothing but add weight.

Bob I think you are right about the resin. Possibly one of the single biggest weight problems. Always been a metal airplane guy, but now that I've this glass bird I'm watching some you tube videos abo ...

Hey Builders,

Was there any specific instruction on installing a firewall in the pulsar xp? Mine seems to have an aluminum one, but I MUST have something proven to be fire rated. My inspector sugge ...

Hey Jim,
Mine is an XP 912. Serial # 462. I have composite spars and skins, and a heavier duty nose gear (one with an aerodynamic shape instead of a tube).
My manuals are a dec 1994 revision.

A ...

Well, it seems there is no great desire to increase the load on the Pulsar's out there. My local inspector suggested that if the right calculations could be done, reducing the G limits could allow for ...
