Default RE: Pulse .40XT

I'm using 440 nylon bolts to hold my gear on. They're are pretty dinky, but there's three of them, so I figured that would probably be strong enough. so far i haven't had a rough landing, so it's too early to tell. I'm hoping the bolts will shear instead of ripping the mounting block out. It's worked really well on my mini and 25E Ultra sticks, and we did it for year with our old ugly sticks. Occasionally the gear will come back and hit the stag, but it's worth the risk to keep from tearing the bottom out of the plane. A stab is cheap...a fuselage isn't.

I really like this plane. You can read my observations here:
