No, it`s not just you!! A crosswind will DEFINITELY impact how the Pulse taxis. It will weathervane, and very much so with a stiff breeze. Just need to get used to it. Good practice for other taildraggers in my opinion.

I think you're absolutely right. I've been thinking about this, and you know, a crosswind doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to. Last summer when the Pulse was new (and I was new, too!) I had a few squirrely takeoffs that made quite an impression on me. Now I find myself doing much nicer and straighter runs. Practice helped.

Anyway dmurf... be ready for the wind, and enjoy the Pulse!
