Default RE: Seaplanes or Snow
Great looking snow under the Telemaster, deep and firm, ideal. How did it fly? A 91 seems a bit overpowered though. My Ultra Ranger in the photos started with an ASP 46 and is now well overpowered by a 56. Wingspan 96", weight about 9 lb.

How did you make the skis for the Ultimate? Are they plywood? And what keeps them parallel in flight and stops them going way nose-up and causing lots of drag?

I have also stuck in a construction photo for my skis. Each has 4 balsa ribs with thin ply top and bottom, then two fins with a tail on top.
