@Yenn I got a hold of Ken and had a chat to him this morning. He put me onto another fellow who I had a good chat to as well.
It seems I might not be able to fit in it! I didn't think 6'1" was that tall...
I've emailed Ballard to see if I can extract some more detailed dimensions from them.
So far so good!
Cheers,
cscotthendry, Yeah they have 400 hour quickbuild kit for the Virus SW, which is the one I took a liking too.
I got a sit in a sinus a while back, which as far as I'm aware, has the same cockpit as the Virus.
My forehead was right on the Wing spar...
It looks like a good set-up doesn't it cscotthendry.
To bad I can't find any current flyer reports...
I've a pretty loose mission profile of;
Conventional gear
High Wing
110+kt cruise
Semi-off airport capable
Love the Glastar but it doesn't fit the budget for now.
I can't fit in any of the Pipistrel machines either... My head hits the wing spar.
The only one remaining is the Pelican! Just looking for builder/owner/flyer reports.
Cheers.
Hello,
Just landed I supposes, I've actually been using the forums for a while now but only just registered.
I'm a CPL with about 350hrs that are all private, I decided to not make the leap to professional flying for reasons that I'm still not sure of!
I've been doing some serious googling for an aircraft kit.
I came across the Ultravia Pelican which is now built by Ballard sport aircraft.
I know there are 3 registered with the RAA at the moment.
Was wondering if I can have a chat to some who owns one of them?
Cheers!
