Remarks : The performance of my Pelican is even better than the conventional Cessna 150 series. It gives me great pleasure to build and fly it. This plane has landed in all the airports in Sarawak and Sabah; covering a long stretch of golden coast-line and the vast interior greens of Northern Borneo. "Every attempt to land in the small airfield is a challenge and great experience. It also offers the joy of meeting the various tribes of the rural folks."
