CH750 Flying Wheel Skis
Moe's Fly-in on the Ottawa River attracted over 90 local aircraft...skis, wheel skis and just straight wheels. High wing or wing...even a couple helicopters.

The deeper the snow the shorter the field take-off. I guess the wheels digging into the snow crust makes more drag than I thought...deep fresh snow = shorter take-off distance. I saw Ice Pilots NWT and thought about you..they were flying DC3's on skis and remember the pictures of your early TCA days.

Sorry Bob but that just looks way too cold for me. All kidding aside how well does the Rotax heater work?
