    I worked with Airdale on these, they are the prototype of his design. I don't believe Airdale is in business anymore, unfortunately.

    The main bows are made from 5/8 x .036" 4130 tube, with some 1/2 x .035" for the superstructure, with 1/4" UHMW (plastic) on the bottoms. I put a second set of Grove axles to the inside of the gear legs to mount them on. They work really well for the type of skiing I do. I may work on a tail ski when time allows.

    its been 9 long months since my little incident, but finally got her up today. Feels good to be flying again. Prop was a bit coarse but no other snags.

    Hi guys
    I'm over in New Zealand for a bit. Did a great fly with my American friend Bob in his Storm. Went up around the Coromandel and Waihiki Island.
    Our Penticton Flying Club logo has now gone International! !
    Have fun
    Don

    Found some photos from Sept. 2011. Probably taken the day before the factory fly in at Homedale, ID on a fly out. If you haven't been to a factory fly in, you need to get there this year. So much fun.
