RE: Anyone know what this is? Ice boat?
I agree John, there is alot of stuff I wont know til I try it out. I have the back ski on a different channel than the rudder since I dont know how much the ski will actually steer it. If it ends up steering it good I will set both on the same channel. I am guessing I want most of the cg towards the back to keep from nosing over and helpwith the steering. Also my legs are set up high for snow clearance because it probably wont be on ice, just snow. If it ends up being too top heavy I have extra room to lower it thru the legs. The skis themselves are rated for a 10 lb airplane and I think this will come in at about 6 lbs.
All the snow has melted in the last few days so I am going to try to get it done before the next snow storm. Hopefully everything will work out and I wont have to do very much modifying to it but I doubt that will be the case.
