Pelican PL Revival - Chapters T-1 and T-0.5

Finally, the building is done, and the revival can move on to its completion, with the bird lifting into the air. But, before that happens, it is appropriate to learn its behavior on the run up to flight speed, and how it slow after touchdown, and make what ever adjustments are necessary to fine tune its response. T-0 is next. In this video, I show that things don't always go smoothly, when nosewheel shimmy develops while coasting down from somewhere near landing speed.

I remember longtime ago those plane (the part) were build in Mascouche, Québec, Canada. Since a couple year the airport in Mascouche Is not exist anymore. I'm not pilot but (by this time) I pay to get a flight on the Pelican.

Nice build. I cant wait to see her fly.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to it, but am being "anxiously" patient for the weather to break to verify the nosewheel shimmy has been dealt with before T-0.

@@Wrinkles6768 I wouldn't imagine rushing would be beneficial. The nose wheel can be really annoying. My 150 does that occasionally. About time for a rebuild of the dampener.
Just curious, what is your useful load ?
