Kolb Aircraft of London Kentucky was on hand at Airventure with their full stable of fine aircraft, and to announce the arrival of their newest arrival the Pelican "Sport." An agreement between Kolb and Ultravia for the distribution and manufacturing rights in the U.S. for the Pelican Sport has now been finalized. Kolb currently has a kit under construction which is expected to be finished in the next couple of months. 

The Pelican Sport is already certified in Germany in the FAI -450 category, is approved in Brazil, and is designed to meet TP 10141 in Canada and the U.S. "This puts the New Kolb Aircraft Company in the "pole" position when the new Sport  Plane category is introduced."

The Pelican Sport utilizes a composite fuselage, mated to all aluminum wings and tail surfaces. When equipped with the Rotax 912 S the plane cruises at 130 mph and climbs out at over 1300 fpm. The Sport is "convertible" that is it can be converted in a matter of hours from a trike landing configuration to a tail dragger. The Sport is also easily adaptable to floats and skis.

Airframe kit price at the show was $21.500 or $27,750 U.S.  for the 49% factory assembled kit.
