    Hopefully they are the wheel thru design
    I don't feel we get enough snow to utilize them.
    Oh wait, you are preparing for a winter like we had last year?

    We are 40 miles closer to Lake Michigan than you so we do get more snow.

    How do they work with the tire rigged out so far into the snow?

    I have mine rigged with 1/2-3/4" of tire extending below the face of the ski. I inflate the tires to 25 psi when the skis are on.

    Airedale. Yes, He is building them for my Nanco 21 inchers.
    This is not a picture of my skis. It is a picture that Brett sent me to show how he is making my skis. I'm thinking it may be AV8R's skis in the picture. he had me send him several pictures of my plane and landing gear and measurements so he can make them to fit. I will have to finish them when I get the kit. Planning to powder coat the steel instead of paint then instal the bases.
