In regards to the canopy not being clear to see through in the rain. I use rain
x on my car windshield and my aircraft windshield.
I never have to turn my wipers on even in the heaviest down pour while on the highway.
While at a stand still it does you no good. Same for aircraft.

| Subject: | New Member Pulsar Builder |
Greetings,
I am a new member and I have recently acquired a Pulsar (Kit#277). I have been
told that since my fuselage halves have been joined together already that I am
out of luck.
I would very much like to install la 4 stroke Rotax but it is my understanding
that I would need the X P supplement manual to accomplish this goal.
If anyone could be so kind as to give me some knowledge and guidance with this
issue I would certainly be most appreciative.
My kit came with composite spars and wooden wing skins. If I need to include any
other information please let me know!
Thank you,
Clyde Oyler

Greetings,
I would like to contact Mr. Mark Brown. Mr. Brown is the gentleman that designed
and built the original Pulsar aircraft series. Does anyone know if he is still
alive and if so does anyone have a point of contact for him?
Any information would be most helpful!
Thank you,

I have kit number 277 and it has the composite spars with wooden wing skins calling
for a 582 Rotax. Hope this helps.
I'm trying to find the X P supplement manual to use a Four Stroke Engine.

Not sure if this email distribution but this is Rick Thomason.
I built a Pulsar XP tail dragged but my kit was designed for the Rotax 912. N54RT.
Larry would be an excellent source for you!
All I have is an email address for him and it may no longer be valid. leubanks@sunflower.com
Greg Smith would know how to contact him. His email is gredsmi@aol.com.

It's not just a matter of having the XP assembly manual... you need the XP parts.
While the basic fuselage 'shape' for both the 582 and XP came out of the
same mold, the layup pattern was changed to make the XP fuselage stronger as
required to support the greater weight and the higher aerodynamic loads, flutter
potential, etc., that go with greater speed.
If you had the XP parts, then the XP manual would tell you how the assembly steps
are different. But there is no manual or other documentation that will tell
you how to convert a 582 fuselage into an XP fuselage... that happened in the
mold during manufacture. And just plunking a Rotax 912 into the front of
a 582 isn't wise... that's not what Aero Designs did.
What is your kit's quoted Gross Weight? (go look for your info, I don't need to
know). For the most part, Gross Weight is determined by wing strength, and
that's mostly due to the spar. Whatever your kit's Gross Weight is won't change
when/ if you convert to a Rotax 912, and any weight you add to the plane's
Empty Weight during the process will reduce the Useful Load by a similar amount.
All the games you play with your kit must take place under your kit's Gross
Weight limit.
Rotax 912 UL . = 60.9 kg / 134.2 lbs Installed Weight
Rotax 912 ULS = 63.8 kg / 140.6 lbs Installed Weight
Plus bigger prop.
There are owners here who have converted a 582 to a Jabiru or Camit 2200 flat-4,
air-cooled engine. Perhaps one of them can provide you with some insight on
that conversion. But it's a big project that transcends just having the correct
manual... and it doesn't have a manual.
Some early composite spars were incorrectly manufactured, and are not air-worthy.
I don't know how to tell good from bad, but do make certain you have a good
spar before proceeding with wing assembly.
The Pulsar Aviators group over on YahooGroups has a "Files" section that contains
a lot of supporting documentation, including PDFs of some manuals. I believe
much of the XP manual is there. Subscribe there, and check it out.
Good luck,
Tim

Contact Sonja Englert via her website "Caro Engineering" or via her email paqs345(at)gmail(dot)com.
I highly recommend her services as a reputable Aeronautical Engineer and owner
of a modified Pulsar that she carried out many upgrades to.
She has been very helpful with my project and my desired upgrades which are very
similar to what you are looking to achieve.
Matt.

The defective spars were made upside down, ie the upper cap strip was thinner than
the lower, the SB has more detail but that's the gist of it.
