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.

P,

    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.
