A template is made to locate the cut outs for the tires which will allow flying from paved (grass) or snow surfaces. If you want straight skis these plans will work to build a set of straight skis.

The original design & plans were drawn by Rob Nelson, and these were re-drawn into a CAD type drawing in pdf format by Elmer Webster. They were kind enough to share the plans with me and I will share them with you. But I need your e-mail address to do this. Send me a friend request and e-mail me your address.

any drawings, especially attachment system available ??? I just cannot think up a good system by myself but am ready to start building for my 701 ( in Massachusetts where we have 3 months of snow every year it seems)

Bob, looking like you are making great progress on the ski's.

I and many others will be following very close....Mike

I'm following this with great interest, Bob, as I will be starting a 750 build in February, definitely want to put it on skis.

 

Shay: try asking Ross Alexander ( dashwoodlock@yahoo.ca) if he would part with his design for the wheel skis he designed for C-IGGY (my old 701)

Hi Bob,
Is it possible to get the plans for the wheel skis for the CH701?
We've had a lot more snow than usual this year here in Ireland. It would be nice to be able to keep flying while waiting for the thaw to come.
Regards,
Shay.
