RC Airplane Snow Skis

thingiverse

Designed some skis for the winter months of flying. These are a direct fit for the Parkzone Sport Cub. They should fit many other typical wire landing gear planes with little to no modifications. The landing gear on the sport cub is ok for the skis on snow, but it has a tendency to dip the nose on take off. Speed is your friend and always keep plane into the wind. I used rubber bands to keep ski tips up. You can attach the rubber bands however you want, pictures show how I did it and it seems to work good. Springs would also be a good alternative if you want it to look more professional. Here they are in action! https://youtu.be/-C9NdWl5CBw
