Its forward 20 ft (6.1 m) span wing employs a GU25-5(11)8 mod airfoil, when the aft wing (span 22 ft) uses an Eppler 1212 airfoil. [4] Both wings have a total area of 92.2 sq ft (8.57 m 2). Standard engines used include the 60 hp (45 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine and the 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200 four-stroke powerplants. Construction time ...
The semi-tapered 9.6 m (31.5 ft) span wing is made from plywood with composite spars and leading edges and employs a UA-2 airfoil. The wing is covered with doped aircraft fabric . The standard engine factory-supplied was the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.

[1] [2] [4] The Pulsar Series II has a typical empty weight of 660 lb (300 kg) and a gross weight of 1,200 lb (540 kg), giving a useful load of 540 lb (240 kg). With full fuel of 17 U.S. gallons (64 L; 14 imp gal) the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage is 438 lb (199 kg).
2) To obtain a rate of roll faster than any existing fighter. 3) To reduce wing profile drag and thereby improve performance. The wing area had been reduced from 242 sq ft (22.5 m 2) to 210 sq ft (20 m 2), and a thickness chord ratio of 13% had been used over the inner wing where the equipment is stored. Outboard the wing tapers to 8% thickness ...
