Time for ski's

[Bandit 286]

With my new wing jack and gear jack I can put my ski's on in a little over an hour. Now let it snow!

Well the snow is coming your way.  Wind is howling here bring snow and cold out of Alaska and Canada tomorrow evening.  Skis are looking good.

We don't use skis down here - Just put tirechains on, or switch to studded tires when ice storm hits!

Thanks for posting this Bandit.

 

Speaking of skis. I have this exact same type that accompanied my Avid I'll likely never use. Don't know what kind they are but they're available for a reasonable exchange if someone wants a pair.

Hey Mark, 

 

Looks good!  Your jack system looks like it will work for a variety of plane and is well out of the way.  Hope you get some good snow this year to enjoy them.  I took mine out for first play on skis this year last Friday.  The lakes have about 7-8" of ice and we had about 6" of snow (before the wind blew it off out here in Palmer yesterday).  No problem, will just tow the plane over to the lake if I need to.

Randy,

Have to like that! I hope we get lots of snow. The lakes have around 5" of ice now.

Yes Mike - wheel penetration identical to Bandit's. I doubt I'll ever use them. I should put them for sale on Barnstormers.

Randy,

     What are the blue pads ziptied to your struts?  I just realized - its one of the mounts for your twin Bushmasters!

I asume it is padding for strapping gun cases or snowshoes to the struts or anything else.
