 |
|
I searched the archives and was surprised to find very little
information on this subject. I have a RV-4 stuck in the hangar due to
12" of snow on an unplowed grass strip... I'm itching to fly and was
wanted info on putting skis on my RV. Anyone done it? Recommended
type/brand of skis? I know very little on this subject and looking
for some help/advice.
Thanks

Mike, One problem I can think of is the low wing aircraft. I'm sure
someone will have a photo of an RV4 on skis. Van's may have a good answer
to this question, I wonder if the landing gear is up to the task? Also, the
angle of the gear would seem prone to nose over in rough snow or ice. This
should be a great thread, however, you may want to purchase a high wing for
this operation or move to a local plowed field. Less money, less work and
more fun!
