Now that the leaves are turning and a few flakes of snow have hit the ground, do you find yourself wishing your could extend you flying season? Do you ever wonder what happens to all those backcountry strips when the snow flies?
Winter is some of the greatest flying of the year despite the sometimes atrocious weather.
- Imagine snowshoeing or skiing right from your plane, where no one else can go.
- Imagine visiting some of your favorite remote cabins in the winter when no one else can go.
- Imagine landing on a frozen lake and drilling the hole and ice fishing where no one else can go. (Ok, that sounds nuts to me, but some people like it!)
Airglas Skis are designed to withstand the day in and day out abuse of the long arctic winter, yet are maneuverable, light, and long lasting. The skis make use of some of the latest reinforced plastics and fiberglas which allow them to absorb extremely high shock loads without damaging the ski or the aircraft.
Airglas designs skis with rolled edges and angled bushings to lessen side loads on the landing gear and axles and to provide greater maneuverability. The skis have a flexible tip and large flat planing area to allow for maximum support, fast planing, and a quick rise out of deep snow. Just compare the surface area of the Airglas skis to that of the competition.
