This flight along the Tetons completes the required 40 hours of FAA testing and
I can now fly out of my restricted test area! Hoping for good weather to fly
to Kansas for the Pulsar fly-in.

Hi Alan,
I have electric flaps on my Pulsar III. I am away from the plane now,
but I can oblige with the build manual instructions, if OK.
Please advise.
regards
otto

*I converted to electric flaps with a linear actuator. Shortened the
flap handle and put it between the seats. Actuator behind seats pules
flap handle with a cable.
I'm in Ohio on a trip for September and plane is in TX to no pictures now.

Alan,
I built mine with electric flaps. Shortened the flap handle and installed it inside
the centre console. It is operated by a linear actuator behind the seat,
and a cable around a pulley mounted on the end of the flap handle. This arrangement
sounds very similar to Bob Heiser. The pulley gives a 2:1 mechanical advantage,
reducing the pull needed by the actuator.
I can sent some photos and a description, but can't include attachments on this
list. If you email me privately I can respond.
Brian

BRIAN AND ALL, I ALSO HAVE ELECTRIC FLAPS BUT I DID IT BACK IN THE DAYS
(1993) BEFORE THERE WAS A PULSAR GROUP, WHEN YOU HAD TO INVENT SOMETHING. I
WAS IN THE GARAGE LOOKING AT MY GARAGE DOOR OPENER AND DECIDED THAT WAS HOW
I COULD MAKE IT WORK, SO I TOOK A 12 VOLT DRILL AND CUT OFF THE BATTERY AND
WIRED IT INTO A SWITCH ON MY STICK AND USED LIMIT SWITCHES AND A PIECE OF
ALL THREAD AND LIKE YOU SHORTENED UP THE HANDLE SO IT WOULD FIT UNDER THE
CENTER CONSOLE. 14 YEARS AND 1,200 HOURS AND AT LEAST A THOUSAND LANDINGS
AND STILL WORKS GREAT. THE DRILL MOTOR IS MOUNTED BEHIND THE SEAT. I HAD
TO MAKE A MOUNT FOR THE MOTOR AND INSTALL A BEARING THAT WOULD TAKE THE LOAD
OF THE FLAPS SO WITH A LITTLE TINKERING I'VE NEVER HAD TO FOOL WITH IT. I
THINK THAT GRAND TOTAL OF MONEY SPENT ON MATERIALS...$100? JERRY

We have a 582 Pulsar ready to fly but the prop is only allowing 5600 RPM
static, which is too low for flight. If take off were attempted the prop
would load up and the RPM would drop. This could be a break in issue on the
engine or his prop may have too much pitch.
Does anyone have a prop for a 582 Pulsar, perhaps a GSC ground adjustable,
that he can borrow or purchase? He is grounded until he gets a replacement.
Thanks,
Greg Smith

Greg:
I have an original fixed pitch Perry prop that would not allow me
sufficient Rpm when I had the the 2:1 gear reduction and was breaking in
the engine.
If he has the 2.24:1 gear ratio in his motor reduction unit, he is more
than welcome to try it.
