 Subject: Blue foam ribs

Happy New Year to  everyone.

The subject of "blue foam ribs" has risen with-in our Pulsar fleet, and mainly relates to the Pulsar XP (series 1) where petrol (gas) fumes can/will degrade the blue foam ribs. I have very little detail as to the history when the  introduction of the  "brown (Clegicell) foam" started.    At some stage, I think the brown foam (for rib 1 only) was introduced, and then all kits was provided with full set of brown foam ribs.

Any history (dates/year) re the introduction (or part off)  the brown foam would be appreciated.

I am aware that the Pulsar II/III was not  affected.

Thank you and regards

I have serial number 403 and it has the Blue Foam  dissolving ribs!  Brian Anderson has a Pulsar XP not to far after mine and  it has the Clegicell ribs.  He will have to answer what serial number he  has.

 I just checked and the serial number of Brian  Andersonâ€™s pulsar is 456.  So between 403 and 456 the ribs were  changed.  I think Brianâ€™s Pulsar XP would have been one of the last that  Aero Designs produced?

Serial 367 had the blue foam except for #1 (and maybe the one just outboard  of the tank), which was brown foam.

I have nearly 250 hours on a Pulsar XP with blue foam ribs and have experienced no fuel damage to ribs.  During first 100 hours, I had to rework wing fuel tanks close out plate seal area on both wings 2 or 3 times.  I fiber glassed wing root cuff seals on the fuselage to create a gap seal on both the upper and lower wing surfaces.  It may very well be air flow while in flight, where there is in adequate gap seal (upper and lower surfaces), that poses the greatest risk for fuel vapor entering the interior of an affected wing.  In the past, I have had puddles of gasoline on the floor area under my hangar parked Pulsar (due to leaking tank end plates).  Upon removing wing inspection plates (not optional in my opinion) found no signs of blue wing foam deter-oration.  The wing gap seal should extend all the way  around the wing-fuselage intersection along the lower surface of wing root up to the wing flap.
