"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.

The McAlarnet, 6'4" father and son team are very comfortable with ROOM TO RELAX. 

Power to Match and Versatility
The  "SUPER PULSAR 100" can be fitted with a wide variety of engines: From 100 to 125 HP.

Huge Baggage Capacity
Nothing should be left behind when FLYING on vacations.

Detachable Wings
For storage, trailing or container loading, the wings can be detached within 1-1.5 hrs for storage

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.

Highest Quality
The kit contains all materials required to complete the airframe.  All Composite parts are constructed of high temperature epoxy resin pre-impregnated fiberglass and carbon fiber, honeycomb core, materials.  The parts are then Vacuum  pressured and cured at 250 degrees (F).  These parts are strong, light weight and quick to assemble.  All metal Parts are fabricated with the highest quality and are ready for assembly.

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.
