Default RE: *Hangar 9 New Pulse 125*

The Pulse 125 with a DLE 20 is a rocket ship with unlimited vertical when really wound up. But at 1/2 or 1/4 throttle it is a sweet heart. Neat model for sure. I get lots of compliments on how nice it looks. Brian

I would also suggest you could use a 15-10 prop and not spin too fast. I am using a 15-6 on a 120 glow motor and the 15 prop I never hit the turf with except when the plan tips forward because the gears are too far back, but any size prop would hit due to that.
Great idea... Don't know why I hadn't thought about stepping up the pitch in a 15'' prop.

Also, I could use a sanity check; the Pulse 125 is going to by my first plane after I get the thumbs up from my instructor on the clubs high wing trainer. Am I crazy? The driving force for choosing the Pulse 125 is I want a gas plane thats relaxing and relatively floaty. The Pulse 125 was suggested because of it's low wing load (~14.5oz/ft). And I love the sporty look of it.
