    Paul, what's the firewall forward limit for a Pulsar - I thought it
    would be about 300lbs?

      I have no idea but the original used a two stroke Rotax.

Paul and All,
 The Super Pulsar is a completely different airframe from the original
Pulsar. They share only part of the name. I believe they will handle an
O-320 or Conti O-200. The plane is a bit larger than a Q-2. The real
worry with the Super Pulsar is who now owns the company. Dick Trickel
sold out the Kis line to Pulsar also, but I heard the whole shebang went
bust. Too bad as the Kis line is very nice and the Super Pulsar looked
nice too the one time I saw it. The prototype was crashed in a
ran-out-of -gas incident caused by NOT running the return to the tank
the fuel was delivered from. The overflow/return went to one tank only
and the plane wasn't on that tank and ran out of fuel on final. No one
was hurt but the plane landed 100 yards short of the runway. I was told
they rebuilt it but I never saw it post crash.

Bill,
A quick look at the super Pulsar ( nice looking aircraft) showing 125hp
motor at 205 lbs - is that correct.
The single rotary will be heavier than that but could be used with some tail
weight.
