    Fred, those look great , top of the line retractable wheel skis . With our hit and miss winters now , I am looking to switch out my federal 1500's straight skis for wheel type skis so I'm not grounded when the snow melts and i need tires . Thanks Bruce N199CL

    They are cheaper than summits. 3 skis are less than 100 lbs. . they fly nice and still cruise at 104 on a normal day. I fly north and leave on pavement on most days and land in snow ten come back to pavement. They are very handy

    Thanks DesertFox, I am using Superflight and I ordered a few 1/2 pint samples to play with and I did get an orange, I like it more that I thought I might. Looks nice with a blue accent. I am partial to yellow and blue or yellow and black but the orange really stands out. Choices!

    Steve, why the 5" wheel?

    Im pretty sure his answer is "weight". He spent a lot of time and $ to achieve the lightest build he could.
