Default Roto Fly skid mod

Hey every one. I love my RF but I never did like the skids. They are too narrow so it tips over too easy so I cut down a set of Honey Bee skids. They widen it 1" plus it raises it a little so the tail rotor doesn't hit the floor as easy now. The whole set up is held on just like on a HB, by pressure (no screws or glue) so it can be removed and replaced so what do you think?

Thanks, I do appreciate it. If you take it down to the stock height it's still 5/8" wider than stock so if you like it lower it'll still work good. It definitely lands better now, no more tipping.
