I snitched the motor mount out of my Pulse 125 kit to use mounting a DLE 20 in my Sig 110 rascal. So to answer your question, as far as I'm concerned the stock mount will work fine. Brian

Has anyone actually used the Twist 150 landing Gear? Brian, have you gotten yours yet. Is it a bolt in substitute? I have already spent hours installing the dual elevator control horn and pushrods, dont really want much more time invested in changing out gears.

Also, I looked at Horizon and the Pulse 125 gear they list the picture looks like it is NOT swept. Is it possible that they have changed the part number due to all the complaints about the swept gear. Anyone buy one of these yet replacement gears maybe are actually made right?

I own a Frenzy 100 and a Pulse 125....as mentioned before, I would advise against the Frenzy 100 gears mentioned a few posts back, they are 2 pc and very light weight, in my opinion too light for the Pulse 125. Yes they would work, but I think they will bend/break off easy.

I did get mine. It will work fine. The center rear bolt lines up and I'll have to re-drill the front two mounting holes. Not a big deal. It also is about an inch taller and a tad narrower. I think it is the way to go. I have not had time to assemble mine yet and I'm waiting for a DLE 20 mount from a friend. Oh too, on the web site the Twist LG looks orange, but is red. Brian

Why not turn the stock landing gear around? I have the stock swept back gear on my 125 but haven't had a nose over, yet.

gade600sdi

You cant turn it around it is raked way back and I mean way back. If you turned it around the wheels would be right under your prop. Dont know what they were thinking on this one. If you are more tail heavy you may get away with it or flying off asphalt, mine is pretty much in the middle of cg range and she noses over all the time, and we have a pretty smooth field!

It's a mod that has been many times. You have to drill three new holes to mount it and you have to re-clock the wheel pants by drilling two new holes. I guess ignorance is bliss.

When I get home after work, I guess I will google it ya and post a picture or video.

ok, I would love to see it.....thanks.

Just my luck. I researched the Pulse 125 A LOT before buying one. I found a couple of threads talking about the mod and found one video of a guy doing to start to finish. I just looked up at mine (above my head on wall) and it has 5 bolts holding on the gear. I guess it was the wheel pants he was drilling holes for. After the gear was flipped around, the wheel pants stuck up a LOT, and had to have new holes drilled. He also said the toe had to be adj to make it track straight on the ground.

Maybe this weekend when I have more time I will look for that video. It really didnt look that bad with the gear turned around (with pants fixed). The wheel centers were maybe 2" in front of the leading edge. Not even close to the prop or even the cowl for that matter. I dont fly on grass and most of my planes are draggers, so planting the tail is 2nd nature to me. The stock gear works for me.

Hey guy's, ok I'm a little strange for many reasons [sm=bananahead.gif] and one of the ways is I love the stock landing gear in it's original position. The Pulse has beautiful lines and with swept back main gear and its stance make it looks just outstanding to me. I've been flying the 60 this season on a grass field and ya their is a definetly concern, but only nosed over once. Giving full elevator while taxing, after land, and also at the beginning of your take off, as you all know will in most cases prevent these nose overs. This is definetly challenging my piloting skills, and I love a challenge. It seems to be all apart of the Pulse package for something that looks and flies so beautifully must require some masterful handling somewhere and this seems to on the ground like the real P51. Almost finished my 125 and can't wait that challenge!! My 2 cents! Nice thread!

I finished my Pulse with the DLE20, and all I can say is WOW..that thing is a hoot. I am running stock gear, factory version2 tail wire, bolt on tail and no issues at all. I can wring the thing inside and out in IMAC fashion, and have yet get so much as a wimper from the airframe at all. Were talking 3-400 foot full power pull outs from loops, Spins, Lamcevaks outside flat circes. This thing just plain flies well. I am turning a Master Airscrew 16x8 K series on a 10 ounce tank. The only "issue" I have is that you have to be gentle on landing so as not to hit the prop. Other than that..stock gear works fine just like the 60 size does. Mine is balanced dead nuts at 3.5 inches with 12 ounces of lead on the nose, and if anything I can move it back a scoche.

Hey guys

Does anyone have video of a Pulse with the DLE20?

Any idea how fast it flies with the DLE20?

I have yet to maiden my Pulse 125, its hanging on my bedroom ceiling (till it drops below 90 degrees outside)

Check out my Terminator Pilot and my Braided Exhaust Hose (it runs under the fuse right at the landing gear mount)

Maybe someone will notice my red "Vortex" in the very corner OR my Pulse 40

Later

HI I initially installed a "Frenzy" landing gear in my pulse 125 with DLE 20. Looks like it is on stilts. The gear is very flexible. I am useing a 16X8 topflite maple.
Performance is great. On my third landing , a bad landing, ripped out one side of thg LG and light ply mount. Have made repairs and put stock mount (with pants) back on, but moved it foward.
as suggested in a precious blog. Very little ground clearence with a 16" prop, about 3/4 ", but, with care do-able. Flew in that configuration yesterday very sucessful!
A very enjoyable airplane, light on the controls.

I flew the Pulse 125 last eve with the DLE 20. I agree with the other posters. What a blast. One of the most fun combos I have ever owned/flown. My CG came out about an inch behind the factory marks, and I decided to try it there and it was perfect. I will never add any nose weight. I dragged it in a couple time and touched the tail wheel first just looking for any kind of a stall and found none. I think the factory CG suggestion is the "safe" place to start but not need that far forward. I decided to "try" the stock LG and it worked fine. I bought the twist LG as well but it is not needed. You can nose it over if you try, but I had 3 flights and 10 touch and go with not one problem. Maybe the rear ward CG helps in that dept. I have a 10 ounce tank and fly for 15 minutes and have near a 1/2 tank left. To say I'm very pleased would be an accurate statement. Thanks for the mount Jerry, and thank for all the other posters and suggestions in this thread. Gotta quit writing and run back out to the model field to show my new flyer to my buddies. Brian Smith

How are the knife edge and flat spins on this plane. Looking for alround funfly plane but it's gotta do these two well. THANKS,RACJ

I did some wild full power snaps that look really wild for an old guy like me. It has a big rudder and stab, and if I "could" knife edge I imagine it would do them well. Brian

Wing bolts..
Anyone but me have a problem with the plastic metric wing bolts? One actually got stuck in a trial fit and untill I greased them up and ran them back and forth could I even use them.. My question is where can I get some replacements quick and cheap. 6MMX40MM....Other wise I'll drive out the blind /T-nuts and replace them with standard 1/4 inch. Brian

Drill them, after all if you break one at the flying field, who has extra metric bolts to share?

gade600sdi

It will knifedge well I have a 40 a 60 and a 125 they are all top notch super flyers. Will do any trick in the book except extreme 3D type manuevers. Very aerobatic and yet gentle that you would recommend for a first low wing plane. Hard to leave a pulse at home on Sunday when I have 14 others to choose from.
