If your talking about being short of the composite flat panels you can jus
t make your own.=C2-=C2-=C2-I would make my own instead of buying a p
anel.
Take 9 oz woven glass cloth and wet it out with epoxy laminating resin on a
plastic sheet that was waxed with carnuba car wax as a release.
Get some 3-4 lb density Last a Foam, 1/4=9D thick from Aircraft Spruc
e and put that on the glass skin. Lay another glass ply over the core to cl
ose out the sandwich.
You end up with skins about .012=9D thick. Overall thickness of sandw
ich around .275=9D.=C2- It pretty easy to do.=C2- I have tried it
and it works good.

Mr. Alan,
I inherited my kit from a gentleman that completed less than 10% of the bui

I will make a thorough search this evening when I get home on all of my com

I ran across the "composite extension" portion.
If I were to need to acquire some extra composite board material, what woul

Thanks for the help, it is much appreciated sir.

58
Mr. Ronko,
Thanks for the information. That's a big help sir!
Do you know how many total gallons of fuel (usable and unusable) your tank holds?
I'm trying to get an idea of the weight and such.
Thanks for all the help ti is very much appreciated.

| Subject: | Re: 582 Pulsar Fuselage Question |
Dear Pulsar Drivers and Builder's,
I finally figured out the composite extension question .
I took time when I got home from work yesterday to methodically go over each part
of the composite board sections that were cut out prior to my owners ship.
The pencil marking on the extension pieces have faded and I had to break out my
watch makers magnifying glass to read it but I found the sections.
I apologize to all. When I picked up my kit, the gentleman I acquired it from had
already completed the following:
1. All parts were cut out from Composite Board supplied from Aero Designs.
2. Fuselage Halves were joined properly.
3. Tricycle gear cut out, seat belt attachment plate dug out, and the lower seat
back procedure completed also.
4. Rear Access/Inspection Panel cut out and mounted to nut plates (poorly) so I
am redoing them. I will be installing 8 instead of the four nut plates specified
because I feel it will provide more strength and a more stream lined appearance.
I will have to re-tap the holes as well as they were not done to my standards.
5. Vert. Stabilizer Competed with Co-Axial Cable installed.
That is all that was done when I picked it up.
I am assuming (and I hate to assume) since the fuselage was resting in his garage
for over 20 years it caused some pitting in some of the areas that have edges
particularly the molded air foil where the wings attach on the upper side and
rear edges.
My plan, and please correct me if I am wrong, is to simply add micro to fill and
smooth these areas out to prevent further degradation.
I am using Aero-Poxy brand epoxy.
One thing I would like to change is the method of opening the canopy.
I would like to have the canopy open up towards the front instead of the roll/slide
and channel method provided in the kit. I have seen a few Pulsar's like this.
For clarity, I want to copy the method the Evektor Sportstar uses with the
gas struts.
If I am thinking wrong please correct.
Thanks to all.

For what it's worth, I have composite spars and blue ribs supplied by Aero-Designs.
My kit calls for the 582 rotax.

Whom ever owns the Pulsar pictured below, I absolutely love that color choice.
I am planning on doing the exact same. Could you provide the specific type of
paint you used. It by far the sexiest Pulsar I have seen.

Whom ever owns the Pulsar pictured below, I absolutely love that color choice.
I am planning on doing the exact same. Could you provide the specific type of
paint you used. It by far the sexiest Pulsar I have seen.

Dear Builders,
I would like to know if there is a size restriction on the add on windows that
I see many builders have done.
I am almost certain that there would be but I would like to hear from those that
are in the know.
Thanks in advance for your input.

Thanks for the information. That's a big help sir!
Do you know how many total gallons of fuel (usable and unusable) your tank
holds? I'm trying to get an idea of the weight and such.

The rear access panel (under the vertical tail) is in a low stress area. 4
screws are all that is needed there.
The "pitting" you describe is probably normal porosity of the composite and
would have been there since the part came out of the mold. This is not
something that can show up over time, unless there was a mouse that has
developed a taste for plastic.

If I'm right and the Pulsar 1 did not have the rear windows, you would have
to add plies in that area before you can cut holes there. The Pulsar 1
fuselage skins have thinner plies than the XP skins which have the windows.
If you want to add those windows at all, don't make them any larger than
they are on the XP, and add the plies as frame for the window. I don't know
how many plies the window frames have though.

Someone had asked me if it was possible to do this and I had to discourage
him. The Pulsar was not designed for a ballistic chute and retrofit is not
possible.

| Subject: | Re: Size Limitations for Add on Windows |
I'm aware of one builder of an XP/ Jabiru 2200 who installed a BRS. It used a
harness made of 1/8" steel cable instead of wide Kevlar straps like BRS would
use. A single strand came down from the canopy to a junction with a 4-strand
harness to the fuselage. Two strands went to the tail, and connected to both
sides of the horizontal stabilizer torque tube. Then two strands (or a single
loop ?) wrapped around the bottom of the firewall, and was 'secured' there...
I have no idea how it was secured.
I don't know when the work was done, but the JPEG I have is dated 9/14/2010 "on
my computer". That could simply be the date I saved it (??), rather than the
date of the installation, or the date the JPEG was posted by whoever did it.
When I downloaded the JPEG, I forwarded it to my son, who was an engineer at BRS.
The JPEG pre-dated his time at BRS. He avoided making any 'corporate' comment
about it, but off the record (son to dad), he wasn't very positive about
it. Which, I guess, is a 'kind' way of characterizing what he really said
about it.
We used to attend the EAA Fly-In every year, and would always visit the Pulsar
exhibit. And we always studied the display planes and parts, so he was familiar
with the Pulsar when he saw the JPEG of the BRS installation. He was very
dubious that the airframe would survive the G-loads of the canopy opening at
speed... which can be very substantial.

Tim Engel
