Fred is all ready for us at South Lake for 1pm Saturday. Looks like we are supposed to get about 4" tonight and quit around 9am. Only lite snow so still may try saphouse around 9am

Hey, Glenn
With the expected snowfall tonight, I'm guessing South lake will be skis only.
I can't get off home base with my wheel replacement skis, so the PA-11 will be on 800x4 wheels.
Yes, SKIS ONLY. Already 10" before it started snow today

No go today for most of us, doing it again on Sunday at South lake.
Plan is Gavin's farm strip for breakfast then up to South lake for lunch

I beg off today as well so what time at Gavin’s and what time for lunch at South Lake. Lunch earlier than 1:00 I hope. Long ride for me.

Made it Fred’s today

Well... There's a reason we do preflight inspections. We were going to be at Gavin's this morning.

Good catch, I think I have that part you can use and replace as able. Problem is I'm away until tomorrow.
I'll be in touch.

Then home for more gas
South lake
Back in September 2021 I posted pictures of 19 yo Teddy who bought a C90-8 Pa11 on Baumman 1500 floats. Well Teddy got his ticket last Wednesday and he took the check ride in his own Pa11 on skis.
Great job Teddy

I ordered a replacement actuator from Datum on Monday. It made it through customs and was at the nearby shipping facility on Tuesday, but wasn't delivered due to the snowstorm. It arrived and was installed on Wednesday. Back in the air Thursday morning. Jaffrey has 20 inches of snow on the runway.

Electrically fail?
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a well preserved body but rather to slide in sideways, well used up proclaiming "WOW What a Ride"
I was asking Tyson if his actuator electrically failed.

Broke one side of the actuator rod off. I discovered that you need about 30 psi of tire pressure. If less the tire indents on the step on the back of the ski when trying to climb back up. I had about 8 in mine for a softer ride and stripped the gears in mine.

If you look carefully at the picture, you can see that the split end of the rod broke at the retaining pin. I think yours may be a different design based on some pictures Dave sent me.

I was wondering if that was your ski The new Datums appear to be a different design.

When is the first flight date? Looks close.I was wondering if that was your ski The new Datums appear to be a different design.

Don't push him
The ski is the same/similar, but the actuator is different and also placed differently when mounting. I would expect the actuator to be different because yours is for a lighter gross weight. I wonder how much of the mounting difference is driven by the actuator and how much is driven by an interest in making the mount stronger. I think I can mount mine like yours, but it will take a little bit of thought/modification.
Are those big brakes and are they fitting with the skis in the "up" position?
...and while I have you on the phone, how is the snow holding up up north? I'm wondering if it is time to pull my skis...
