Default Flew the 4*40 Me 109 on ski's !!

I have never flown this plane off the snow before.. Even thought the skis match the plane nicely ! hahahah

I built the skis myself after a club member gave a lesson on it one year at a club meeting..

He happened to be my Algebra teacher from high school, the ski lesson sunk in better !

The snow was patchy, and it had some issues, but I finally got it in the air. Once flying all was well, except one ski drooped a little different than the other and it sort of YAWED around trying to do a flat turn on its own.. a little rudder evened it out in the end.

the snow is almost completely gone already, so I have the wheels back on it now.

Very Nice, now you need to get some pontoons on it to fly off Water Take care and have fun, Chellie

If flying off water, soak the esc and receiver in some corrosion x for a few days in a bottle to water proof them.

Do not Judge, or you too will be Judged. For in the same way you Judge others, you will be Judged, and with the same measure you use, it will be measured to You.

Snow? What's that?? No, we get a taste of that about every five years or so. Usually only lasts a few minutes.
