Thank You for purchasing the FoamFly Pelican!
Welcome to the
world of simple, durable foam flying machines. The Pelican is sure to thrill, with
its sleek styling, and old-timer flair. This plane is suitable for beginners, but it is
recommended that new pilots get the help of an instructor to trim their plane, and
help with the first flights.
Almost anybody can fly the Pelican. It’s as easy to build, and more
durable than pre-fab planes that you might find at the hobby shop. But you build
this yourself. In addition to the well earned pride, you’ll have a complete
understanding of the structure, and if it should ever need repair, you’ll be able to
do it yourself without costly replacement wings and cowlings.
The “Slot and Groove” construction makes the plane quick and easy to
assemble. All the pieces are specially designed to interlock, and are computer
cut so that they fit perfectly every time.
