I am away from the plane now, but I can oblige with the build manual instructions, if OK. Please advise. regards otto On 12/09/2011 17:56, Alan Gill wrote: > Hi all again > Have a person that has purchased a second hand Pulsar Series 1, 582 > trigear.

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. * *God Bless Bob Heiser* On 9/12/2011 11:56 AM, Alan Gill wrote: > Hi all again > Have a person that has purchased a second hand Pulsar Series 1, 582 > trigear.

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.

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?

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 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 07:58:59 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pulsar-List: GSC Prop From: "Alex Kozloff" 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. -- Alex Kozloff P.O.
