Hi Perry,
The skis are Federal 1500 skis for Cubs, and similar small tail draggers. One of my friends, a longtime A&P and winter operator here in Alaska, had another single ski in is "extra stuff" pile. With his welding help, we fashioned it for the nosegear and beefed up the axles. So the standard Federal skis are modified for the 750 application. Had to special order slightly smaller diameter bungees which will not get to me for several weeks. Snow here is about gone so I put the 750 back on wheels for Phase I.
