"Skystar engineers reworked the Pulsar's main wing carry-through spar to provide tremendous strength. Gross weight has been raised to 1,200 pounds." Additional information in the same literature. "Carbon-reinforced fiberglass main spar" I found no additional information like layup schedules or attach point modifications. Greg In a message dated 8/6/2013 4:28:04 P.M.

I have a Pulsar XP and was wondering if I can/should do something similar... the questions really is how the wings differ on the two pulsars? There must be structural differences as the III has a higher gross...

Since then I've read a lot that says this may help and it may not. Since it wraps the leg, it probably increases the strength but when the gear flexes, the bond between the fiberglass legs and the carbon fiber is likely to break. We'll see over time.
