Last August 29th I flew to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my first flight. It took me several years to work out the bugs and get really comfortable with the plane. I used to spend more time working on it than flying, now I can just hop in and fly. The Pulsar has been very reliable; no damage or serious maintenance issues. The water based paint I had used failed, so I to remove it all with a razor blade and Polyfiber gave me replacement Aerothane. This was applied just before I moved to FL in 2005. It took about 4 months to get the airplane to FL, so I only flew it 17 hours that year. Now fly about 30-40 hours per year, not really enuf to justify ownership costs, especially high hangar rental rates here. Have 500 hours TT on my Pulsar. But I can't imagine selling it, even thought I want to buy a small sailboat. Two holes to throw money into. Still work at the local airport as Properties Director. Came close to hitting some big birds in flight, and discussed that issue on this list in 2009. Bought a new Prince P-tip prop in 2009 and believe it may survive bird strike that the original GSC prop would not. Am happy with new prop. John Schussler 4431 Winston Lane S.
