Micro-Aviation build the Pulsar I, Pulsar II and Pulsar III. My Pulsar (Ultrastar) is build from a kit from Micro-Aviation. Put a folding plane on a trailer is a very good idea, I have no budget to rent a position in a airport hangar!

I couldn't find the Pulsar I on line but the Micro-Aviation Pulsar III looks like a nose dragger TwinStar. The UltraStar is an awesome design. With the wide placed engine shock mounts it has very low frame vibration. Visibility and comfort - fantastic.

In fact I tried to get the FAA to crack down on the Titan Mustang guys at Sun-N-fun two years ago but they wouldn't do anything other than agree something should be done. Our John H has a knack getting the FAA types worked up at Sun-N-Fun but they have always backed down. Generally they are so happy that we fly in that they aren't about to do anything to discourage our participation. Seems like besides John and I there were only two other pilots camping with their planes at the UL/LSA strip at Sun-N-Fun this year.
