Hi members of the list,

I just bought a Pulsar XP, does exist some precautions of flying in the rain?

With my powered glider it was very hard to takeoff with wet wings.



best regards 

Arno

No problem, just the visibility through the canopy gets bad, no windshield wipers!Sonja

Hi Sonja,     

isn't the prop wash strong enough to clean the windshield ?

          

Thank you for the immediate reply.     

Arno

The wood prop does not like the rain.

Flies fine in the rain.  A Few Precautions:



1)  Make sure you have a seal behind the leading edge of the canopy... otherwise, rain will sneak through underneath the canopy.



2)  Don't fly if it's likely to hail.  Hail can tear up the leading edge of your wing -- even if it is fiberglass.  Even light hail will tear up your paint job.

Light drizzle is particularly bad too. Just completely fogs up the canopy and does not disperse in the slipstream. Then if there is light from either side, or behind, it is almost impossible to see forward, because of the internal reflections. Been there, done that. Itâ€™s like flying into cloud.

Has anyone used RainX on the windshield?Â  Does that help?

In regards to the canopy not being clear to see through in the rain. I use rain x on my car windshield and my aircraft windshield. 



I never have to turn my wipers on even in the heaviest down pour while on the highway. While at a stand still it does you no good. Same for aircraft.
