    The Pulsar kit came with some big sheets of flat composite and full scale d rawings of parts that had to be cut out of the sheets. The part you referen cing is a part that is cut out of the composite sheets. -----Original Message----- From: Yellowhammer <coyler@sthpk-12.net> Sent: Wed, Apr 3, 2019 10:47 am Subject: Pulsar-List: Re: 582 Pulsar Fuselage Question Mr. Alan, It is page 73 in both the 582 manual and the XP manual.

    Rotax 582 James, The biggest issue was the bed mount, rubber spacers had to be different.=C2 - I believe it may have had to do with going from a B gear box to a C gea r box. The installation alignment we did have to get a slightly shorter set of rubber spacers.=C2- Also at the same time the wooden prop was replace d with an IVO 2-blade medium which I had to shim to keep the spinner to cow ling spacing to a minimum.=C2- Overall, a few surprises that I should hav e expected, but everything had a straight forward solution. We also inverted one of the cooling hoses that is routed from the top of th e engine to the rear and around to the front (because of the electric start er).=C2- It was not a problem. The hose fits either orientation. A couple of years ago, I rehosed all of the cooling hoses with reinforced s ilicon hoses.=C2- The silicon hoses can tolerate a wider temperature rang e and are suppose to have a longer life.=C2- I did not purchase any silic on elbows, but was able to route the hoses such that the bends were wide en ough to not link the silicon hoses.=C2- A couple areas I just simply adde d a stainless steel hose clamp to insure the hose would stay round and not kink at higher temperatures.=C2- Silicon is significantly more expensive than rubber, but compared to the cost of the bent to fit Rotax hoses, it wa s way lower cost. Sorry to hear about the long wait to get your engine back from CPS.

I had the used gray head engine replaced, and I added a gascolator, auxilia ry electric fuel pump, and a fuel totalizer (my capacitive level devise is not very reliable).=C2- I also had to fuss with the engine over heating i n the hot summer days, by adding baffling material from the radiators to th e cowl air openings to get temperatures under control (to much air flow wen t around the radiators and not through the radiators).=C2- Also modified the engine mount that has the exhaust piped too close (smoked the original wooden block).=C2- Replaced block with stronger Baltic Birch plywood with a bigger air gap to resolve baking the mounting.

    Mr. Rick, That is awesome. I fly in to Picayune regularly with my flight instructor. In fact, it will be one of the locations for my XC check ride. Would you mind if I came over one day to see your Pulsar and possibly ask some questions sir? I feel it would help me and be immensely beneficial to my learning and building process if I had a Pulsar and Pulsar Builder to cross reference near by. Anytime that is most convenient for you I will certainly appreciate it sir. I am building my Pulsar with the tricycle configuration and I would be most grateful to be able to visit with you. Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter. Sincerely and Respectfully, Clyde Oyler (985) 515-5238 cell > -------- J.M.

    Mr. Ronko, Many thanks for the information sir. I have not purchase my engine yet and was wondering what is the best gear box to use. If I recall there is an A,B,or C gear box selection for the 582 or am I mistaken? Additionally, If you or anyone knows where the best place to do business with to buy a 582 Rotax your input will be most appreciative. Thanks James M. "Clyde" Oyler -------- J.M.

    Mr. Alan, I inherited my kit from a gentleman that completed less than 10% of the build and thus had it stored for some 20 odd years and he may have forgotten about a part or two accidentally. I will make a thorough search this evening when I get home on all of my components to see what I am missing exactly. I thought I was good to go until I ran across the "composite extension" portion. If I were to need to acquire some extra composite board material, what would be my best course of action to find an appropriate substitute in your opinion sir? Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated sir. Clyde -------- J.M. Oyler &quot;Clyde&quot; Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=488521#488521

    Mr. Alan, I failed to mention that the previous owner had all the parts cut out and there was only a 2' x 3' section remaining of composite board when I took ownership.

    Kris, I have all three of my fairings that are brand new and never taken out of the wrap I wrapped it in when I got my kit.l You are more than welcome to use them for your project if you still need some. I will not be installing them on my Pulsar. Sincerely, James M. "Clyde" Oyler -------- J.M.
