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 to quickly become the most desirable, unless you have an unlimited fuel budget. A trip in my 172 leaving this weekend is going to run me $800 in fuel for about 14 hours flying there and back - ouch! If only my Pulsar was through with it's import...
So who has the tooling and rights to the Pulsar XP these days? Is it still in El Salvador? Was new tooling built down there? The more I tinker with mine the more I think the kit needs to be put back into production, albeit with some improvements. I wonder what it would really take to accomplish this and how much money would be involved?
Imagine a light sport eligible example, only a bit bigger, with a 912 or 914. It could easily meet the requirements of LSA without changing the lines of the original design....

Chris,
A similar but better plane is in development by Mark Brown and Greg Smith.
Hopefully, it won't be that long until we see it featured on the cover of
Kitplanes and Sport Aviation.

The owner of Pulsar died recently in a crash. Not sure what will happen to the designs. Just because newer designs are coming out does not mean they will necessarily be better. The current designs have many hours of testing behind them.

No need to change anything as there is already a "bigger" Pulsar the SP100. Same wings and great looks but bigger fuselage with more width and headroom. Loved mine and was most upset to lose it in an out landing following an engine failure.

Hi Solly
You're right The Sp100 is really the best.
I'm flying with my Sp 100 since 3 years now and I must say itīs very confortable.

Henry, can we get an update on the performance of the UL260 in your Pulsar? We sure would like to hear all about it.
Thanks
Greg
