    Did you ever make skis for your CH601HD?
    Low snow conditions here in Ontario this winter. I think the CH601HD would perform well on the lake ice and low snow fields.

    Sorry I took so long to see your invitation... I am not much of a computer guy. I type with 2 fingers, and one of those is adedicated "shift key" operator.

    James if you look at ski pictures I have in my album... they were made for a Skyboy by a CH701 builder while making a set for his CH701. This summer I will probably build a set for my CH750. If you think skis are a leap of faith, how about the first CH601HD low wing on Amphibian floats? A low wing on floats is actually easier to fly with a lower more stable centre of gravity. Sexier looking to boot!
