Once upon a time, at an R/C swap meet in San Deigo, I came across two Pelican kits and snatched them up. It was a low wing polyhedral trainer designed for .049 power. I built one with a Magnum .15, a straight wing and ailerons and it flew like a dream. After about eight years of touring the world for Uncle Sam, I've been getting back into the hobby and I want to build this second kit. Deal is, they only came with one set of plans, and they are no where to be found. If anyone has heard of this plane or the company, could you drop me a line. They were originally based out of Van Nuys in California with all us other fruits and nuts... :rolleyes: Here is a picture of the box cover. Thanks for looking
Vince.

Vince,

I built a Pelican years ago and it was a blast. I always thought I would build a straight wing with ailerons but never got around to it. I am back in the hobby after 15 years of being gone and am going to build another Pelican. Would you share with me your modifications to make the wing straight and add the ailerons? I will also fly it with an OS .15. I don't know if Parker is still in business, but I purchased part of a kit at a swap meet. It included the wing ribs and canopy, the rest I can build from the plans I saved. :)

Thanks,

Kman
