Subject: EXTERNAL: Pulsar-List: 6 Pack VS EFIS
Dreaming a little about things I'd like to do with our Pulsar and putting in a
Dynon is high on the list. Does anyone know what kind of weight savings can be
had by eliminating a vacuum pump, associated filters and regulator, and of course
six instruments? I'm thinking (hoping) for about 20lbs, but without taking
it all out and weighing it I'm at a loss.
Also thinking of going to some light radios like the Becker from the installed
King radio and transponder. Anyone know what those or the Microair radio and transponders
weigh?
Thanks

I have recently had one of those supposedly fuel resistant hoses, 1/8" ID, blue,
transparent, that are used on some primers, break. Fortunately it was on the
ground and only fuel was spilled. The hose had been in use for several years.
It had become discolored (brownish) and then cracked halfway through. I have
now replaced those hoses with automotive rubber hose of the same ID and would
recommend that you check if you have any of that stuff and replace it.

Chris,
I replaced my unreliable Terra radio and transponder about 18 months ago. Fitted
an Xcom radio. Very light, good function set. And a Trig transponder. The transponder
is fantastic. S mode. The head unit is so small and light, and is fitted
with an internal alt encoder. The main unit is mounted remotely, behind
the seat and closer to the antenna, thus minimizing loss in the antenna cable.
It is also very small and light. Fantastic performance, and excellent value,
price competitive.

Chris,
We put in a Dynon D180 and a complete vacuum system as a backup. I just do
not need it and will be taking the vacuum system out this winter. Anyone
need a vacuum pump?

Dennis,
I may be interested. Mine has over 800 hours and my A&P says 600 is
about max. Not whining yet but probably won't last much longer. Let me
know what you would like for it.

Folks,
I just recently sold my PULSAR project to a gentlemen named Richard Lively..
His e-mail address is doclively2@copper.net and would like to ask that he be allowed
to join the Pulsar linked community.
I have very mixed emotions regarding the sale, however, being part of the 787
Dreamliner team now, I have very little time for family and all things, so for
now anyway, I must bid farewell to a great group.
Thanks for you advice, support, tips and encouragement along the way..... I
am anxious to see Richard get that Pulsar III in the air!

Austin,
I am not ready to take it out yet as I want to fly. This winter I will let
you know if that is not too late. It has 40 hrs on it now and seems to work
just fine. New it was about $600, but I will make you a deal on it.

Hi Sonja,
Part of the snag list for importing my Pulsar is the fuel system. I have to change
over to the equivalent of hydraulic pressure lines, fire sleeved, and employ
firewall fittings. Also, I believe that there is a minimum ID of 3/8 inch required
to supply minimum 30GPH - even if you don't need it. The glass fuel filter
located under my cowl has to go too, and a gascolator must be installed.
Plastic is definitely out, at least inside the cowl.
I have to do a fuel flow test as part of the import regardless of whether the aircraft
meets the standard, and provide it to DOT to get signed off.
Our standards come from AC 43.13 so why aren't all amateur built aircraft in the
US following it?
Chris

D180 looks like the way to go. However... Watched a very cool video on youtube
about a guy in his Lancair Legacy. He lost his engine at 15,000 feet and had to
descend through IMC using his synthetic vision. The video is extremely well
done and includes all the conversation recorded between him and the tower. I'm
not planning on flying IMC in my Pulsar but might have a look at the Skyview
too... Now if only they had the radio and transponder built in now...
I to will have a few things to part with - AFTER I finish my import and get at
least a few hours in the Pulsar before diving into the Panel this fall/winter.
My vacuum pump and all the associated bits and pieces, 6 pack, King KY 97A and
King digital transponder (can't remember the model), and a GRT engine monitor.
All with about 260 hrs on them.
Chris

Kelly,
Met you at our last Lawerance Fly-in, sad you are leaving the Pulsar
family but hey I have been building for almost 21 years now! Bad,
really bad but I still have high hopes!
Your Dreamliner is a much prettier aircraft than what the pictures
showed! I examined it up close at AirVenture and she is sexy and quite
a nice airliner. Can't wait till we get ours at AA in 2014!
Take care and good luck in your future ventures!
