| Subject: | A List Contribution - It's Your Personal Squelch Button... |
There is an automatic "squelch button" of sorts for the Fund Raiser messages.
Here's how it works... As soon as a List member makes a Contribution through
the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, their email address is automatically added
to this year's Contributor List and they instantly cease to receive further Fund
Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its just that simple! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and software that are required to run a List Site such as this one. It also goes
to pay for the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric
bill to keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered
on. I run all of the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which
allows me to control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in
reliably and performance. Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined
with other Listers such as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site
up and running. I accept exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics
Lists sites. I can't stand the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are
so prevalent on the Internet these days and I particularly don't want to have
it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

When I was initially looking at the Pulsar I talked to Mark Brown about
the Subaru engine. He was very adamant that this engine was not
appropriate for the Pulsar, even the series III. I suggest you forget
the Subaru and find a 912 or Jabiru 2200.
Best Regards, Bill

Dear Listers,
Starting around midnight this morning 11/11/13, the Matronics Barracuda spam filter
that receives all incoming email from the Internet, developed a problem and
started rejecting all incoming
email. I just got off the phone with the Barracuda technical support and we have
resolved the issue as of 10:15am PST.
If you have posted to any of the Lists during this time, you will need to resend
your email to the respective List.
My apologies for the disruption!

Trying to save money by overloading the airframe will get you in trouble,
big time. I have pictures of airframe failures because the cheap engine was
too heavy, and they are not pretty. You can expect to see the fuselage
split just ahead of the wing fillet. This is not just a small crack, we are
talking about the whole front of the plane falling off. Lucky for the Pulsar
builder/pilot, the airframe failed in landing and he was slow enough he did
not get hurt, but the plane is totaled.
The Pulsar was redesigned for each engine it uses. The fuselage was
reinforced, in the molds, to accommodate the engine weights and power. The tail
section was beefed up with different materials being used. You cannot
duplicate this process in your shop.
You are attempting to install an engine that is heavier than the heaviest
engine ever designed for the Pulsar. If you do this you should do
significant load testing, on the ground, to assure the structure will not come
apart
on a windy day, at altitude. You are risking a lot for a small savings, on
a kit you did not build. For your own safety, please reconsider, install a
Rotax and enjoy the aircraft. If you want to use the Subaru, buy an u
nfinished RV, there are a few unhappy owners flying RVs with the Subaru.
If you decide to ignore our advice, please do all of us a favor and when
you register the aircraft, do not call it a Pulsar. It truly will not be a
Pulsar, it will be a one off design.
I know this sounds a little harsh, but we are starting to see these
unfinished kits going through several owners, and who knows what is being done
by
each, and then someone wants to do things that far exceed the design
strength of the aircraft. It is not safe, there are just too many things to
consider to make changes to the design.

Just to be correct technically, it=B9s 4130 steel. You don=B9t want more than
.30% carbon for welding.
The nose gear mod assures safety for the future.

Pulsar Friends,
I just finished the rework of my nose wheel. All of the discussion at the
Pulsar reunion, how to strengthen the nose wheel design, I was on a mission
to improve mine. It wasn't hard. all you need is the 2-1/2" of the 5/8" I
D
pipe (4160 steel), a 6" hex bolt (preferrably grade 5), and a nex nut that
fits the bolt, and somebody experienced and trustworthy shop to cut the nos
e
gear, grind it to fit the pipe, and weld the pipe to the nose gear.
Attached is a picture of my result.
I have 7" of 4160 5/8" ID pipe left over from my order from Aircraft Spruce
to do the job. If anybody would like to buy the leftover $18 pipe purchase
,
I would entertain selling. I have found that cut the pipe to exactly 2-1/2
"
the 6" 5/8" hex bolt works idealy, and one additional washer at the castle
nut. The threaded end of the 5/8 6" bolt needs to be cut down a bit and
needs to be drilled for the castle nut and cottle pin. I can also provide a
new set of belleville washers.
Fly safe,
Ronko
