Introduction
E-flite’s Pulse™ XT 25e is a 25-size electric version of the classic Hangar 9 ®
Pulse 40 XT. This is a great flying sport ARF that’s perfect for intermediate
pilots and sport fliers who want to fly an airplane that’s more aerobatic than
high-wing airplanes. Based on the original Mike McConville design, the Pulse
XT 25e offers excellent features such as its lightweight laser-cut balsa
construction and bolt-together wing and tail assembly.
The Pulse XT 25e is easy to maintain and quick to assemble. The wing bolts in
place, making it easy to transport. The aluminum landing gear comes already
painted along with factory-painted fiberglass cowling and wheel pants. All
control surfaces are pre-hinged, control horns are installed, and wheels and
axles are mounted on the landing gear.
Depending on your performance desires, you can select from an E-flite Power
25 or Power 32 motor. The Pulse can also be flown from the water by adding
the optional E-flite fiberglass .25 size floats (EFLA500) and utilizing the
included aft float mount.
