Homemade Skis
I couldn't find skis big enough for my RC Guys Decathlon so I purchased some aluminum sheeting and a flat bar from Rona and made my own.
4" X 24"
I used pop-rivets to attach the bar to the sheet.
A glow engine motor mounts to attach to the landing gear.

I'll use a spring and cable assembly to hold them in the correct orientation, tips up.
