Building a Pelican (October 21st 2000, part 1)

October 21st 2000 Week 16 of our follow-up of the building of a Pelican Sport from Ultravia Aero International Inc. Do not look for weeks 12 to 15. One's got to face reality once in a while. The end of summer brought back long work hours and the building of the aircraft has slowed down accordingly (it is also true for the updating of this web site...) The follow-up will be done regularly but not necessarely on a week to week basis in the next few months.

The front wheel strut is in place. The "bungee" is not yet under tension.

Direction parts fixed to the front wheel strut.

The slots in the cockpît floor where the pedal assembly will be inserted so to be attached with the parts illustrated above.
Luc looking for a part...

Pedal assembly under way.

Door locks assemblies are almost finished.

Tail skid.
Luc and Christian also purchased the model which will permit to go from a "trike" to a "tail dragger" thus allowing ski operation during winter.

The building of a Pelican Sport continues
