Snow Skis
I have an easy tiger C-185 that I'd like to make skis for. I'm guessing there are some desgn rules for doing this. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks!

RE: Snow Skis
I made my own. Is it a front wheel steer? Whatever (tail or nose gear) you always have to have a piece on the bottom of the steering gear to make it be able to steer. On the main gear, you have to rig up a spring system so that when you take off, the skis zero out, and dont flop around. The springs would let the skis have movement, and not fixed. When you take off, they have to be flush with the airplane so you dont come in with a land where one ski is tilting up and the other down. A bit of designing. Mine came out great.
Good Luck!
