MAD Dave Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I unfortunately wrote off my electric Hangar 9 Pulse XT60 today; my fault. During its short life, I really enjoyed flying it. It went vertically into soft soggy clay with the spinner tip stopping some 30cm depth. The motor, ESC, battery, Rx and servos appear to have survived intact, thanks to the nature of the soil perhaps but the airframe, well, I need a replacement, preferably an ‘XT60. I was not previously aware, but on searching the net this evening, it seems the model has been discontinued and is therefore unavailable from the normal sources. If anyone knows of any “old stock”, I would be very pleased to hear from them. Equally, a “pre-owned” model would be appreciated. I can collect; my post code area is BH20. An alternative of course would be to go to a different design. Does anyone have any recommendations for a model of similar size, performance and behavioural characteristics please? The motor I have is an E-flite Power 60 which I operate on 6S; the combination pulls quite well! Thanks in advance for any assistance given.

Phil 9 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Another Hanger 9 blink and you miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 A possible alternative ? **LINK** I have owned both the xt60 and eacapade 61. I would say the escapade was a little less floaty than the pulse. I did like them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Jones 7 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Amazon U.K. are showing 2 in stock but with a fairly steep deliver charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If you don't mind ordering from Spain, then one here. http://www.aeromodelismoserpa.es/home/149-pulse-xt-60.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 9 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 **LINK** Another alternative? Not tried this one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD Dave Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Thank you Martin, they only have one left in stock now! I had checked on Amazon earlier but for some reason it did not come up. Agreed the postage is a bit steep but....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich too Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Go for it Dave, I had the same issue with a 125 Pulse and never did find one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil 9 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Dave if you did not buy one of the two from amazon your mad. Probably the last chance you will get for a xt60 **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD Dave Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hi guys, thank you for all your support but I did not make it clear - I DID order one of the two that Amazon were showing as in stock and that is why, as John reports, they only have one remaining. So, perhaps it seems I am not so mad after all!! Cheers Phil! I am told to expect delivery by the 14th April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon H Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Posted by Rich too on 06/04/2018 11:55:46: Go for it Dave, I had the same issue with a 125 Pulse and never did find one... The 125 was the best sport plane I have ever flown, its even better than the 60. I was lucky and found a little used example some years back and finally put it together over the winter. My old crash damaged 125 has a new life with a 70 4 stroke strapped to each wing. Its probably the best sport twin I have ever flown!

MAD Dave Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Slightly gobsmacked, the Amazon seller is listed as Business Name:FLASH RC Business Type:S. à r. l. Trade Register Number:48927631100037 VAT Number:FR16489276311 Phone number:0476010523 Customer Services Address: 15 rue martin luther king ST MARTIN D HERES 38400 FR .....hence maybe the "generous" postage charge? Will it be left a hand drive version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s very interesting Jon, the front of mine is demolished, but the wings are not too bad so that might be a great idea - and I’ve never owned a twin I don’t suppose you took any pics etc of the conversion?

Its a good fun model still, and adding retracts was also kinda fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, start a new thread please Jon. It's always interesting to see conversions like the one you describe. Seriously though, if you do get the time, an outline of it would be great, including dimensions etc. I have never built a twin so I wouldn’t know where to start, for instance, how far out should the prop protrude from the LE? Did you invert the motors? It would be a great thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
