This entry level aircraft will create a permanent grin mark in pilot's face because Pulsar III just doesn't have a sleek design but it does have an oustanding cruise speeds and better handling performance.

This new generation Pulsar was created to enhance top speed performance, efficiency and ease of assembly. The Pulsar III is simply faster and stronger than any earlier Pulsar model.

Aimed for first time builders / low time pilots, it is a superb "Builder-Friendly" airplane kit with emphasis on low parts count and ease-of-construction. The construction manual was designed for the first time builder with drawings and illustration on a step-by step procedures.

Pilot and passenger (maximum height of 6 ft tall) will find the Pulsar III surprisingly comfortable, with ample leg room.

Flying the Pulsar III
A pure pleasure to fly.   Well harmonized and balanced control feel between Elevator and Ailerons.   In the words of Captain  Bob Grimstead who pilots a British Airways Jumbo Airliner and  frequently writes for Aero-Kurier magazine in Germany, the Pulsar has incredibly good flight characteristics.  The aircraft is very stable on all three axis and it's center stick control is quick to get accustomed to.
