Well actually, the pelicans are supposed to be clumsy like that. I've tried them out in their actual form and in Halo CE mods. They're always clumsly, poor steering vehicles that "can't turn on a dime", as Echo 419's pilot put it.
Also, because of the lack of a solid collision model for the pelican, you can actually cram that beast through the narrow tunnels in the Maw.

In response to:
could you make this into a switch program... i dont know what they are called, but i can discribe it to you..
1. You open the program. You press a button on it, and it switches blood gulch with The Maw. You play it, The End.
*Backfire* - you cant play any other BG mod or normal BG without starting a game THEN swithing.... SOOO.. my next point...
2. You exit Halo, open the program AGAIN. Press revert to Blood Gulch. It returns your BG to normal, and you can play it again, YAY!!!
Reason i say this is because NO ONE was playing the maw, so i thought i would backup the maw and put my bloodgulch back in.. to my surprise, it was still named The maw, and CTD'd every time i tried to play it.
I am using a patch program that Wazza found that allows me to create a patch program that will convert the ui, bitmaps, and bloodgulch map in a few seconds. Of course, the program is separated into "install mod" and "uninstall mod". If anyone wants this, please email me.
