Default flying from snow



<span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">i've never had a chance to fly off snow before. i was curious if anyone had any input on which i should put on my beautiful cub. i've heard about people using floats because the have them, but never heard of how it worked out. i was thinking about going with skis, but with it being a taildragger, how would the tail wheel affect the roll out, being like an anchor hanging back there? does anyone know where i could get a small ski to use instead of the wheel? the cub is a .40 sizegreat planes. and which would actually be better? how is it with the extra friction compared to "wheel" takeoffs? </span></span></p>
