Like a Maxford Mentor-G with 4-1/2" balloon tires. I upgraded to carbon fiber struts with the Big Wheel tires and it is far and away my favorite "bush" plane. The wing is about 14" off the ground.

Tail draggers do better in grass (IMHO) and you HAVE to have free-spinning wheels without spats. A few degrees toe-in better still.

I was at the field having a head-scratching day with an S/K 50 that just wouldn't slip the surly bonds of Earth. I eventually noticed little cracks in the wheel spats. When the grass was hitting them they would push on the tires - becoming effective brakes. Took them off and never used a set on grass thereafter.

The Pulse is a great flier. I have a similar Saratoga 40 (now discontinued) and a friend has a Pulse. Both make outstanding float planes (with the Hanger 9 Cub floats)
