Anyone that thinks any of these penatration type skis, with rear mounted
wheels , will even come close to a set of Datum skis, has obviously never flown them. Datum skis performance is very similar to Fernandez skis, just $20,000
less [emoji383]. Don't get hung up on the 8:50 part
of the equation, go measure the actual clearance on a set of the other skis being
discussed here and you will find the folks that build the skis have adjusted the amount that actually sticks thru their skis
To an absolute minimum to enhance the skis performance on SNOW. If they were to
hang the wheels down further to enhance ground clearance, the snow performance would be even worse.[emoji3525]
Datum skis on 6" gear with a thrustline, shows a 70" crankshaft height, go measure
a standard Cub on 31" Bushwheels and see what you get.......[emoji16]
If you want to pretend your a Bushpilot and land on rocky sandbars, on skis, you better get a setof Airglides from Whipline for $27,000; and good insurance,as you will tear them up in short order....... If you want straight ski performance from a wheelski. You may want to look very hard at Datums.
But that's just my 2 cents worth,
