Well I have not flown in quite some time due to wheather, SO.... I made me some ski's for the winter. I played with different mounting options. ended up with this. just some plexi glass I had kicking around, cut rectangles out (5"L x 2-1/2"W) formed them, then heated with my heat gun and bent. You can leave the wheels on, just wrap a rubber band from one side to the other to hold them on. Nice rugged mount, worked well. I buffed the bottom to make sure nothing stuck threw. Then I painted them black. I then then threw a quick clear coat on them, then did the bottoms in clear nail polish to make them nice and slippery. Not to bad I do not think. I will have to get pics of them mounted. Hope you all like. Attachments:

Lookin' good. Sounds like they'll be nice & slick on the bottom. Hope you give them a good work out (Maine should be good)
