I went out at 12:30 today and run 4 batteries . Temp was 26 and sun, no wind. We had about 2 inches of fresh light power. My slow stick had a hard time getting up but it made it. My Fun Cub took right off and was a hoot. I got in 12 landings and take offs. Got the batteries charging for tomorrow. I will try to add pictures. I made my skis out of 1 1/2 inch aluminin sheet with a piece of yard stick glued on. Drilled a hole for axle and just change it out. No ski on tail wheel.

The center line is always dead center with the wind.
Flying from snow has a charm hard to describe.
So I will not try

A prime requirement is your sun glasses
and keeping your fingers WARM.
Oversize winter gloves with fleece inside covering a pair of heavy all wool gloves is a good idea.
See, all you southern fliers, look at what you are missing ?
Hee! Hee! _____Here up north in the winter every solid frozen lake becomes an emergency airport.
