"SUPER PULSAR 100" |
|
|
 |
|
| High Performance Composite Kit
Aircraft |
|
Designed to compliment the beautiful
aerodynamic profile of the legendary Pulsar III, the "Super Pulsar 100."
was introduced by Pulsar Aircraft Corporation in 2001.
A high
performance sport aircraft capable of cruising at high speed and yet docile and safe for
low time pilots. It's 1200 fpm climb (at gross) will leave you breathless and the
slow flight stability let you land on short fields. 38 gallon fuel capacity for six
hours of endurance and 1000 mile range.
The Super
Pulsar 100 will not test your endurance to build like some of the other aircraft kits on
the market. With the Fast Build option you can build it in approx. 800 to 1000
hours. All composite parts are pre-formed and most of the hardware parts are
pre-machined, leaving little to be fabricated by the builder. The fuselage shells and
vertical fin are joined at the factory and the wings come structurally assembled with fuel
tank sealed for the optional fastbuilt version. |
|
|
Room to Relax
It's 43" wide cabin (inside
measurement) offers unmatched comfort for 6'7" pilots on those long cross
country flights. |

|
Builder Friendly Kit
Designed with the amateur first-time
builder in mind, the Super Pulsar 100 is very simple to construct and takes the
lowest amount of hours to complete. Today's busy pilots can actually build the
Super Pulsar 100 in approx 12 months working 20 hours each week in a one car garage. |
|
|
Fast Build Kit
Most people opt for the
fastbuild version and the kit immediately looks like a real airplane upon receiving from
the factory. |

Flying the SP100
Described
by our first flight Test Pilot Dave Morse who has accumulated over 20,000 hours throughout
his career and test flown hundreds of aircrafts: |
|
  
Flight Testing Phase One at George AFB, CA |
|
"You have one heck of an
airplane here". At density altitude calculated to be over 7000 feet
"the aircraft climbed effortlessly. The airplane flies very smooth and
stable. The nose kept tracking straight in spite of it being bumpy and turbulent up
there. Very well balanced and harmonized stick forces between the elevator and
ailerons and having no adverse yaw at all."
Landing the SP100 in
Dave's words: "This is a baby carriage". It handles like a 172/182
(Cessna) in the pattern. Take a new pilot with low time for one hour and let him
go". In other words the SP100 is a very safe and stable
airplane in the landing pattern. |
