Chuck,Yeah, we're getting wholloped way too early.Had built skis for a U/L years ago, they're a real kick to fly on. Newthings to learn too. Like think ahead when it comes to taxiing in to stopbefore the next ride. If a plane with conventional gear has skis, youCAN'T pick up the tail and walk it around. It will twist the gear off.Also getting started by working the rudder from side to break the skis loosefrom the snow.They are fairly easy to make. Pull a wheel off and slide on a ski!walt evansNX140DL----- Original Message -----
