    I want datums. I haven't had enough snow the last two winters. Here's some ski flying from a couple of years ago

    These airplanes are a lot of fun on skiis, I need to learn more about the gopro to make more entertaining video's, like you guys..
    The Dattum's work well for sure, If I hadn't lucked in to a deal on them I would have still been happy with the Homemade skiis I had on previously, It's all good. Let it snow...

    Hi, they are 1500's. but have cessna 152 wheels I got cheap at a bone yard, Kitfox wheels too big to fit through slots. Had to make axle's and spacer's to accomodate them.

    I run 26" airstreaks so I'd be switching the wheels out when I changed to skis. Where I live there is always snow an hour away (in the winter). The datums seem like the perfect setup for me. I've been looking at them for the last few years. Might just bite the bullet this summer. It has been two years with out ski flying.
