Photo Twist Skis
The pic that follows shows skis (front and back) that have been made out of a plastic dishwasher tub. Easily bent with a heat gun and resistant to hard impact in cold weather. The pic shows the plane after a hard and short touch and go in -14 degree weather.[img][/img]

RE: Photo Twist Skis
For some reason I don't have any "reply" or "quote" icons in the previous posts to click on in order to upload a pic? Any ideas as to why that is? Come to think of it.......in all areas of the forums one can no longer reply to a particular post! What gives?
] Well that was my best shot.

JNorton,
Yes, the bolt is double-nutted and thread locked to allow movement of the skis. I used the large 1/4-20 nuts and bolts because I needed the extra weight foward.....on the Twist. The skis have worked in all but the fluffiest of powder. (Over 3' on the ground)

RE: Photo Twist Skis
So how does the skis affect the flight characteristics?? I am going to try a set on an 80 inch Edge 540 Profile. I am wondering how large they will have to be for a 11+ pound plane.

I have had no problems flying in cold weather with my glo engines. They just like to run a little richer to help on transition. Also check your batteries more frequently
