Status: offline 		I like my .40 Pulse but it is for sale now since I plan on getting the 60 pulse. I also have the .46AX on my 40 Pulse with an 11x6 prop, but just swapped to an 11x8 last night, and hopefully I'll get a little more top speed with that.

I flew it in some heavy, heavy wind this weekend, direct crosswind from behind me across the runway 20-25 with higher gusts. The Pulse cuts through it no problem, and it was easy to land sideways. It's a kick ass little plane, and I imagine the 60 will be even better.

I have a .75AX and servos all waiting to go in it, just need the plane!

Status: offline 		I'm drooling! I love the colors but, that idea
on the green scheme would have been cool. That's how my
Bridi "Trainer" was covered. I love the "semi-cowled" motor
setup on both of these, keeps things slick while
still cooling the cylinder like an open engine bay...I like it!

The red and yellow should keep it very visible on those
clear days, although it's big enough
to cover in Saran Wrap and still be seen
with no problem. Man, I love big airplanes!

How about that price!!!!! ....GO HANGAR 9!!!!

Seeing how the PXT 40 flies with a .46AX, I'm very impressed
and hope this one flies as nice. It really does look like it flies
on rails. Just a very steady airplane throughout the entire speed envelope.

The only real concern I have with this model is the tailwheel
being installed directly to the rudder. Might want to wick a bunch
of CA in there to harden that area.

Have fun guys....In the words of Napoleon Dynamite, "Lucky"!

Very true, I wonder if there is any sort of data we can look at BEFORE buying
a new motor. I never pay attention to HP ratings but, see what others are flying
and having a good time with... the best rating system in my book.

Status: offline 		For whatever reason, that Extra looks way better. I think it's because I'm used to seeing the darker color at the LE of the wing at the tips instead of the lighter color.

Status: offline 		Pretty close there Zippy! I agree
the WH looks way better and
can probably hold a knife-edge
a little longer too!

I love what H-9 did here but,
I'm still wishing there was a little less
dihedral in the wing. Also, that's
a lot of wing area, looks like it's
going to be a floater! Still got
my eye on the Super Skybolt
but I'm a bigger fan of H-9's
quality.

Status: offline 		There's a reason for the dihedral and its to keep it flying sweetly despite its low wing design. I can turn the Pulse at a crawl and it never drops a wing. Try that on a CAP 232! Newbs to low wings will be perfectly at home with the Pulse. I've a club mate that remarked that the Pulse flies infinitely better than his Nexstar and wanted one of his own after one flight. I have the PNP 40 version and the biggest complaint is that the Evolution 46NT lacks oomph. Put it on a vertical climb and it runs out of steam very soon. Other than that its a great sports flyer and a real floater for easy landings - even deadsticks.

Now since the 60 version is designed for a Saito 100, I think it makes sense to drop in a Saito 125 instead - same bolt pattern. Extra cubic inches never hurts. If I ever wreck my Pulse 40XT (unlikely since its sooo well behaved) I'll probably replace it with a 60.

what prop are you using on that 46nt? i use an apc 11x6 and have nice vertical, not unlimited but it can get very small when i point the nose straight up.

Status: offline 		A .46 AX will cure your unlimited vertical woes. With a 11x6 prop, the plane is very speedy and has no problem pulling the plane as far skyward as you want to go.

Or if you want, jam a .55AX on it. I'm sure it'll be plenty fast with that engine on it.

Status: offline 		I have the 40 size Pulse. The only problem I've had is keeping the landing gear on it after it tore out about a year after I bought it. I put in my order for the new 60 Pulse with my LHS the first day I saw it advertised here on RCU. I am considering powering it with either the Saito 100 or GMS 76.

Status: online 		I must say that I'm eagerly waiting to hear how this new bird flies. I'm in the process of kit bashing a 4*60. Funny enough that the 60 size Pulse looks almost exactly how I want my 4* to end up (cowl, wheel pants, trimmed canopy, sheeted turtle deck).
