Hey you guys, you are missing the slopes! Gutter pipe sticks to the wet snow and bends too easily. The way you have them attached they also wobble around too much. Mine are made out of a thick plastic with aluminum U channel to stiffen them and the axle goes through both sides fo the U channel making them very secure with NO wobble! The music wire tork rod keeps them from tilting up or down yet lets them move on the groung for better shockabilty. I have an O.S. 32 with a tuned pipe on a 3 1/2 pound plane and even at full throttle, over 70 mph, the skis stay right where they are supposed to be. Yesterday I was at the field and there was only a dusting of snow on the ground and I was duing full throttle taxi runs on the ground the lenght of our field. It was just way too cool.
