Never try this on snow. The axle wing digs into the snow and flips it over ever time. Take off was OK, but landing was not cool.

I can't tell from your picture (it's to small for my eye's)But, if you just removed you wheels, and put ski's on you are sitting to low to the ground, and the lower wing is on the ground also. You'll need the type skias with the axle hole higher up. (or make risers)Your D1 had tall wheels that kept the wing up, you'll need to dothe same thing with ski's. That's wayit's always digging in,not that the CG is highand the tail wheel weightis to light. Tripes land & take off on snowgood.
