Subject: G-CHEX has flown!

Hi group:

Today my 582 powered taildragger Pulsar G-CHEX took its first flight, piloted by Simon Goozee.

Simon reported that the Pulsar handled well and will be a very nice aeroplane, as expected (and hoped for.)

There are some minor rigging issues to sort out but everything else worked as it was supposed to, a very pleasing result after such a long gestation.

Solo climb rate was 1200 fpm at 75 - 80 kts, buffet was seen at 38 kts.

The Peery prop may be loading the engine too much, max rpm seen was 5600. I don't know whether this will improve as the 582 gets run in more - any ideas?

Dave Piercy
