I appreciate the info, Gents. Looks like I may be out here for a few years at least so probably worth it to get the plane on skis. Anyone have contact info for Robbie Guhr, or his username on here? And Jim, good to hear on the trick airs, your based out of Rochester? The Alpine 3000s for the Maule require 8.50s so that helps me out since that's what I am already running. Did you have to weld brackets on, and if so, who did it for you?

I installed the TrickAirs myself with welded brackets. This year a local guy put them on aChamp with welded brackets that were rigged and welded at BAC Services at Williamson Sodus Airport (KSDC) not too far from Watertown. They are the best shop I’ve found in my many years of flying. There is a set of TrickAir 3000 for sale on Barnstormers. You won’t be disappointed with them. Where you live they would get a lot of use. There is a good group of central and northern NY ski fliers to hang out with.

I spoke to NORCAL and I let him know that I’m happy with my Trick Air 3000’s on the M6. Hope to see see him during our NE Winter Fun 2023. I don’t know what this outlaw hearsay is all about

In between the snow storms over we finally had some nice weather yesterday. Took a friend from work and his daughter flying for her first flight, she is thinking she wants to be a pilot. Pretty day along the St. Lawrence.

Finally took my skis off this morning. 600-6 tires, amazing that it gets off the ground about 75' shorter without the added weight of the 31s

An interesting counterpoint to the idea that big tires give a shorter takeoff roll because of increased available angle of attack. May be interesting to evaluate under more tightly controlled test conditions.

I'm only 100HP, bigger engine and prop might be different
