P,

  I just took a hard look at the Pulsar line of aircraft -

specifically,

the Super Pulsar 100.  For a couple reasons, its gotten me thinking

that

it may be a better choice (for me) than the COZY I'd been planning on.

It has:

       1. Pretty good performance - approaching 200 mph
       2. Easier than the COZY to install a liquid-cooled engine, like

the rotary

       3. Faster build time

    I'd like to have your opinion, please.  Thanks...

I think it is a bit small for the 13B rotary. Putting it another way the
13B engine is a bit heavy for the Super Pulsar. That is providing it is

derived

from the old Pulsar. Now if it is derived from the old KIS two place

that

is another matter. That was a larger and more robust airplane to begin

with.

An RV will go together quicker.

    Dunno what airplane it's based on...  This is what it looks like...

I read that the KIS airplane company was bought by Pulsar...

    And, here's what I know about the Super Pulsar 100 from the

website...  Do you still believe that it's too small to handle the weight of
the rotary...?

OK that is too small for a 13B rotary. Firewall forward engine weight is

limited

to about 200 pounds while a 13B would be near twice the HP and a 100

pounds heavier.

BTW Jack turn off your html messages. They make a mess.

Jack. The Super Pulsar 100 is a significantly structural and cabin space
upgrade from
the previous Pulsars, but the largest engine recomended is the Cont IO 240
or Lyc 235
class of engine. The typical 13b conversion is almost 100 pounds heavier
than these
engines, and would make Cg control a problen. The Sport 150 is targeted for
the Lyc
320 class engines and is also a 200 mph class airplane - somewhat larger and
not
quite as sexy, but could be capable  of handling a 13b. These kit planes
would be
much easier to build than a plans design like the Cozy. If you like metal,
the RV
line is hard to beat, and there are numerous 13b installations to model.
