I'm building a Pulsar 3. Is the nose gear mod a fit for this particular model? Can you provide photos of your nose gear section of your aircraft. I'm still a long way from finishing but never hurts to modify to a stronger nose gear. All about safety.

It has a new Rotax 912S (1997) installed. Has less than 3-5 hours total. The engine has all the fluids in it and I put it in the preservation state leaving the coolant in and full. It has Evans coolant in it. Funny thing is that yesterday I noticed a couple of drops of coolant on the floor below the #1 cylinder jug. Looking underneath I can see that the leak may be coming from the left side of the #1 cyl jug. I get a drop about once every couple of days. Miniscule to say the least, but a leak is a leak. Haven't attempted anything yet. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I have not heard of the Series 3 nosegear failing in any way. The nosegear and fork were engineered somewhat beefier than its predecessors.

It is now in Mesa Arizona at a new home. Let me say that the airplane is rock solid in the air. I have videos of all my test flights on YouTube, Just search Pulsar III test flights. Anyway, the nose gear on the Pulsar III is the latest and very strong gear. I did make a mod however and it involves changing the way the pivot strut is mounted. Instead of the stainless firewall I replaced it with a .035 piece of aluminum. I did not like the way the attachment of the gear was only 4 points which were the fiberglass perimeter of the fuselage. I anchored not only the four called for BUT also 3 more attach points vertical on the firewall. I then bolted the fire way around the circumference of the fuselage. This distributed the forces all around the fuselage instead of just 4 points. If you like I have a myriad of picks on the installation. Just a point to consider.
