If you ever make it up to NC I'd love to see your plane (or if you're in Northern SC I'll fly to you! I'm in with a partner looking at purchasing a pulsar II, and candidly have done as much research as the internet will allow me to do before simply meeting somebody else in the area.

Condition inspection has been brought up to airworthy, however some of the weights/speeds/climbs aren't quite what i'm used to seeing, and am in hopes that somebody can clarify what I'm finding here. I'm being told cruise will be around 115mph with a Jabiru 2200 motor, on 4-4.5gph. Climb = 700fpm (seems low?) Gross = 1200lbs - can this be bumped up to 1300? I'm also reading that wheel pants from a RV12 (at least the nose) will improve performance a bit. What other questions should I be asking this seller particular to the Pulsar aircraft? Both myself and the airplane are in NC, in case anybody knows the plane/seller. Thanks!

I have a Jabiru 2200 with a ground adjustable Sensenich prop. I am experiencing 140 at 2950 rpm at about 4-4.5/hr. I think that when the airplane is registered ar a certain weight that is it. I am at max 1250 and have not had any trouble at gross. Two people at 230+ and full fuel. It is cramped, no doubt, but manageable. If you would like more info you can email me at lwheat2083@gmail.com and I also have some videos on You Tube of some test flight. Look for Pulsar III test flights.
