I just thought I would post some pics of my first snow fly. What a blast. If anyone else has some winter flying pics please post them.

I didn't take any pics, but I've flown in snow a couple of times. It's a BLAST! If it's powder, the prop blast makes a nice rooster tail on takeoff. I flew my Piranha (48" taildragger) with homemade skis that were about 2" wide and 9" long. I simply used a nose gear mount to attach them to the existing LG in place of the wheels.

In one of my former clubs we used to have an annual snow fly - they are a blast. Guys who live in the south sure don't know what they are missing not being able to fly off the snow. One of the thing we did that I thought was the most fun was to set cones up about 200 ft apart and have two planes cone race - start with one lap, and each round added another lap. The object is to stay on the ground - if you get airborne you get a DQ! (tail draggers where allowed to raise the tail, but couldn't get the mains off the snow.) If you flipped you where allowed to restart the engine but had to repeat that lap. Gets really interesting with fresh snow and having to dodge foot prints to keep from flipping over.

hogflyer, that does sound like at lot of fun. One of my friends and I have been talking about building a wingless plane for a similar purpose. He has a gutter plane that is not flying.

I have flown every chance I can get since it has snowed. Some days all I can get up is my trainer. But what the hell. It is still a blast.
