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!! http://www.matronics.com/contribution or, you can send a personal check to the following address: Matronics / Matt Dralle 581 Jeannie Way Livermore, CA 94550 Thank you!

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.

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. Greg Smith 1500 hours flying Pulsar In a message dated 11/11/2013 1:48:57 A.M.

Bob H From: Ron Koval "Pulsar-Aviators@yahoogroups.com" Subject: [Pulsar-Aviators] Nose Wheel Enhancement Done - How About Yours? [ 1 Attachment] [Attachment(s) <#TopText> from Ron Koval included below] 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.
