I'll add my Thanksgiving wishes to yours, Barry, and it looks like my
TDF won't happen...too low a ceiling and mist. So I'll go back into
the shop and continue work on my snow skis. I'm adding "snow-
shedding" covers to the tops of the skis. Partly for getting rid of
the snow that wants to go along for the ride...without a ticket, mind
you....and partly to practice playing with either S-glass, or carbon
fiber.

You understand my problem.... Getting it spelled correctly 
I like the idea of a Turkey Day Flight (TDF) sounds important,
sort of like a TFR
4th of July is my night to fly and I have always wanted to do
January 1st but it has been difficult to not party the night
before. But it is usually too many hamburgers that puts me and the
plane over gross.
So, until the next email session - - - Have a Happy Thanksgiving
AND to the rest of the Gaggle - - - Have a Happy Thanksgiving
EAT hearty, DRINK well
and stay STATIONARY

Lynn:
Got a trick for you... Are the bottom of the skis going to be aluminum?
If so Get them Hard Coat Anodized with a Teflon coating. It makes it VERY difficult for the snow to stick.
The thickness will depend on the type of aluminum you are going to use.
2024 you can only hope for .001 to .0015"
6060 & 7075 you can easily get .002 to .003"
DO THE HARD COAT AFTER ALL HOLES ARE DRILLED
If you are interested in this let me know and I can fill you in on the operation and tricks.
I did this for a Piper Cub on Skis.
