The weather was good this Sunday and I did try my skis. Very
optimistic I brought my snow shovel to the airfield but there was actually no snow
left…
The skis vibrate quit a lot when taking off from a rough grass strip like
ours as the wheels don’t penetrate that much. But it works well.
On a nearby airfield I found some snow, at least enough to
feel the difference. Very smooth, no vibrations and a good feeling of sliding –
just like on skis!
The explanation to why I fly with a Santa Claus hat will
come closer to Christmas…
This time I’m prepared… the snow has started falling and I
used one of the last warm days to get the skis fitted… I’m aiming for a test flight
Sunday but the weather forecast is not really reliable…
