| Subject: | Reviving the Pulsar |
Okay, since there isn't much chat happening...thought this might make for interesting
discussion.
so here's a longshot....
Seems that lightweight, fuel efficient affordable aircraft are going to quickly
become the most desirable, unless you have an unlimited fuel budget. A trip
in my 172 leaving this weekend is going to run me $800 in fuel for about 14 hours
flying there and back - ouch! If only my Pulsar was through with it's import...
So who has the tooling and rights to the Pulsar XP these days? Is it still in El
Salvador? Was new tooling built down there? The more I tinker with mine the
more I think the kit needs to be put back into production, albeit with some improvements.
I wonder what it would really take to accomplish this and how much
money would be involved?
Imagine a light sport eligible example, only a bit bigger, with a 912 or 914. It
could easily meet the requirements of LSA without changing the lines of the
original design....

Chris,
A similar but better plane is in development by Mark Brown and Greg Smith.
Hopefully, it won't be that long until we see it featured on the cover of
Kitplanes and Sport Aviation.

The owner of Pulsar died recently in a crash. Not sure what will happen to
the designs. Just because newer designs are coming out does not mean they
will necessarily be better. The current designs have many hours of testing
behind them.

No need to change anything as there is already a "bigger" Pulsar the SP100. Same
wings and great looks but bigger fuselage with more width and headroom. Loved
mine and was most upset to lose it in an out landing following an engine failure.
