I know that winter is still far away, but being a procrastinator of the first degree, I also know that if I don't start working on some skiis for my planes, winter will be here and my planes will be grounded. Last winter I flew my PZ Cub with DuBro skiis, but one ski kept tipping up and acting as an air brake. I also built two sets of skiis for my Aerobird Challenger that worked quite well. (I've been meaning to take some photos and do a how-to since last December) I'll still use the same skiis on the Aeorbird, but I would like better skis for the Cub; and skiis for my Decathlon, Airstrike (tricycle gear), and Typhoon. Anyone have any good plans or know of any good ready made units?

I hand launch and belly land my planes all year round since we don't have a runway.

I am working on a Mountain Models SmoothE. Maybe I will make some skiis for that. Please post any photos of ski projects.

I tried posting photos of the skis, but i get an error message that the files are too large. Check out my threads of the same title on RCUniverse; RCGroups or Wattflyer for details of the skis that I made last year.
