I'm new on his site and one week old on a computer so forive my screwups. Winter flying is great. Many new fliying fields open up. Maybe not the organized type but the posibilities multiply with the snow. I have flown seaplanes off floats in deep snow but I still think just about any taildragger on skis is the way to go. I've used plastic pop bottles, cloroplast, aluminum, fire hydrant markers and lite plywood as skis. I think the lite ply is best. I also make torsion bars out of stanless steel fill rod to keep the skis flexing just right. If you bend the rod into Dubro's dural gear it works terrific
