Description
Pulsar 3.6 eSoarer
The Pulsar 3.6 is a larger version of the highly successful and competition winning Pulsar 3.2 electric R/C glider. The Pulsar 3.6 is probably the lightest high tech full house 3.5m+ electric glider available in the world. It uses the latest Ukrainian composite construction techniques married to a modern aerodynamic design with a wing utilising Mark Drela's slippery AG25 airfoil optimised for high performance thermal duration planes. The low wing loading and generous dihedral gives excellent thermal climb performance, with the fully articulated wing controls allowing the model to be centred accurately in small turbulent thermals. The thin low drag airfoil works well over a surprisingly large speed range, allowing the model to be safely brought back after drifting far downwind. The large flap and ailerons allow steep slow final approaches, allowing even club pilots to score top landng points, and bring home the wood.
Like other highest performance thermal duration sailplanes the entire model is constructed using free-flight techniques. The wing is a balsa built-up carbon fibre and Kevlar D-box design that utilizes carbon capped balsa ribs and a carbon trailing edge. The open section wing and tail are covered with Ultracote Lite.
The fuselage is made of white gel-coated carbon/Kevlar cloth with carbon tapered boom and removable Kevlar/CF nose cone. The three piece wing and 2-piece conventional tail are easily removable for transport and storage. The rudder servo installs in the vertical stab, and the elevator servo fits in the end of the carbon fibre boom.
The fuselage pod is now made from Kevlar so it is 2.4GHz friendly, making the instalation of modern spread spectrum RC straightforward. The careful use of composites, combined with a high quality underlying wood design ensures a lightweight and rigid structure. This is an extremely light, high performance model that has won numerous UK eSoaring contests.
