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.

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.

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!

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?

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.
