I'm making myself a set of ski's for the cub. I'll keep updating on how they turn out. Phase one: As you can see the ski's are made from aluminium, which my Dad got for me from work (he works for Arriva, in the depot so there is quite a bit of scrap around), he put in a 45 degree angle for me two and a half inches from the front (I had said rough dimensions 3x7, but it's turned out 10 1/2 x 3, so they're plenty big enough). Next I plan to round off the front and possibly taper the back to a point. I'm still a bit unsure on how I'll mount them on the cub, but I've a few ideas brewing. -Fuzzy

Update #1: Phase two: I've rounded off the front of the ski's, no sharp corners to catch on landing now Phase three: Here I've riveted on the sections that will connect to the stock landing gear, all that's needed now is something to connect further back as they are quite a loose fit and flop about at the moment -Fuzzy
