I think I'm done, when we get some snow and I get the nerve to try them, they might work

Those look great Tim!! Fly over this way, about 18" on the ground.
18"?! Where!

"Tim when you go flying put 50 lbs in the back when you first try them , i found mine had alot of drag , that weight in the back will help you out till you see how they work "
Thanks Gerry, I'll do that
Yup. All kinds of snow up here in the green mnts. Put 100 miles on the Polaris already.. Trails opened last Sunday, another 6 tomorrow
Laura and I stopped in at Tims a while ago and saw the skis, really nicely done. Pretty good for a dirt digger.
No skis yet. ��
Tim, How are the skis working??
Haven't tried them yet. Cold and windy. and I sliced a finger half off on a cotter key. Soon

No, it's still bandaged up, I'm afraid to lookgot any pictures? .....of the finger?
I just bought a spare linear actuator for my Datums, (like having a spare prop, it means I'll never need it) from this outfit: www.surpluscenter.com They had many different types/sizes and their prices have always been very good, as is their service, been dealing with them for 30 years or more.
surplus center. looks like a good resource.
please give a link to the actuator you purchased for the datums skis. thanks!

MTV I used Heavy duty electric actuators that push/pull 800lbs and cycle on the ground no problem. I haven't tried cycling them at gross weight.
A couple people have told me a good sheet metal guy could make the tunnel using a bead roller...Not sure. The tunnels were the hardest part.
