Hanger 9 has just posted the new Pulse XT 60 which is due in early March and is a bigger updated version of the Pulse XT 40. I did not have the smaller version but a good friend at our local field had one and said it was a great flying plane and of good qualtiy. From the size of the plane and the recommended engine size they should have called it the Pulse XT 90. Looks like a pretty good price for this size plane with all the control horns installed and the control surfaces pre-hinged from the factory.

My little 40 size is on its fourth season and still goes out a few times a week. It was built great and the design is terrific. I've had to build two complete horizontal stabs so far, (one the covering came loose and got fuel soaked, the other I stepped on ) but other than that it's been great. If this one turns out out be built as well, Horizon will have another best seller!

I have the Pulse 40 and like it very much. If the 60`s as good(can`t imagine why it wouldn`t be) they`ll sell a ton of them. Direct competitors for the Sig 4* 40s and 60s. I think it`d be very interesting to compare sales figures for the Pulses vs. 4*s over a given period of time.

Awesome, a great home for a lonely .61FX. I have a Calmato Sports which is similar but, this is a taildragger and a little thinner airfoil. I'm glad to see H9 is listening to customers looking for TRUE .60 class models!

A friend of mine at our local field called and said he has his on backorder and he's putting an OS .75AX on his. The colors of the plane remind me of my WH Extra 260 which is very visable in the air. Looks like a very nice plane its just not my style or size.

I'm first on the list at my LHS for this plane! The LHS is part of a 'Fast Start' program, and said it should be in around Feb 20th ... and its got my name on it! I'll also be putting the OS 75AX on it! I've been looking for a 60ish size plane .... this looks to be the ticket!
