skis
Enjoy it while it lasts, Gary....there's a forecast for snow flurries
for Lower Michigan next Tuesday, and Aussie-land will still be warm,
I'll bet.
Speaking of snow, now that my engine is working like a charm, it's
time to get back to thinking about a different design for snow skis
for my plane. My old ones have a section of ski right behind the
wheel, which collects snow. I also feel that the wheel penetrates the
ski too far...about 2". This was what I thought was correct, but in
seeing other style skis, I've decided to make a new set with less
penetration, and no ski area right behind the wheel. This will allow
for less snow buildup behind the wheel...nothing there for snow to
build up on...and having the wheel penetrate less allows for less
drag in the snow. What got me concerned, was having a problem getting
out of 9 inches of snow last year. I finally got it up "on step", but
it ate up a bunch of runway. I also had to raise the plane to slide
the skis under the wheels (one at a time), and my new design
(borrowed from the others I've seen) will allow for installation
without raising the plane. So you see, Gary, there is some benefit to
keeping that snow shovel close at hand. : )

We just had to do it a couple weeks ago. A quick trip to the local hobby or craft
store and you should be able to pick up some balsa wood blocks. We roughed
em in with a band saw, then rounded them out on a belt sander. A quick go around
with 220 grit and a hand block sander, seal with epoxy primer, another quick
sanding and then top coat to match the plane. We glued them in with T88
or use structural adhesive.
Looks like new and will outlast the foam with only maybe an once weight penalty..
