I turn 86 in a week and consequently have stopped flying 390XP, the world's
fastest Pulsar..
I have removed the wings and horizontal stabs and brought her back to her
birth place,, my garage at home.
Though she flew great for me up to the end, there are several things that
should be done before someone not familiar with her foibles and
peculiarities takes her up again.
I am trying to decide what to do with her.
She is a project for someone who wants a Pulsar, who likes to work on
airplanes but doesn't want to start from scratch building one.
I could put the wings back on and go flying tomorrow. But, among the things
another person should do first are:
Replace flap under the seat torque tube. At one notch the starboard flap
doesn't move. At three notches it is about 10 degrees less than port flap.
No problem for a Pulsar.
Rework pitot tube system and recalibrate air speed indicator. It reads 5
mph fast and hence Mode C is off also and must be recertified.
Needs an annual.
All rubber should be replaced.
Port fuel cell weeps from end plate and port brake line has slow leak.
Fuel level sensors need recalibration.
Main gear tow in/out needs adjustment.
Rebuild carbs. 912 starts hard when first out of a hot hanger.
Needs a paint job.
A particular person would probably find other things.
AND if I were 66 instead of 86 and doing it I would yank out the panel and
start over.
Do you know of anyone that this project fits ? ? ?
Or should I just keep her as a lawn ornament ? ? ?

Bernard,
I have been considering a pulsar for a few years, love to work on and build planes.
Where is she located? Any pictures available?
Thank you
