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.

hi all,   the super pulsar was built for the new 0-240 , i think you will
find that it weighs dry and bare a min. of 225#  a single rotor same
condition can be built at 140-150# same hp.  with al side housings about
110#.  how do i know.  i own a pulsar 1, and am planning on doing just that.
my problem is that Mark Brown put the fuel behind the firewall in the1, the
later models it is in the wing where it belongs.  i also own 3 single rotor
engines.  hope this helps,  wyo. walt.
