Hydraulic Wheel Skis

[Don Twa]

Does anyone know where I can get a list of acceptable Hydraulic Wheel Skis for a PA 18 for use in Canada?
They need to be STC'd to be legal, however haven't been able to find a list of skis acceptable for a PA 18.
I am interested in particular about the AWB 2500's and 3000's.
Does anyone have an STC for the AWB 2500's or Cdn field approval for use with 26 inch Goodyears?

Look at the type certificate and you will find the AWB 2500s. Landings.com has a link.

208. Skis Unless otherwise noted use actual weight change*

*(h) Federal AWB-2100 wheel-ski installed in accordance with Federal Aircraft Works, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dwg. 11R1101. Item 401(k) Airplane Flight Manual
Supplement, and the following placards required:
(a) "Do not extend or Retract skis while in motion on the ground."
(b) On the ski position selector box
"Ski Control"
"Up-Neutral-Down."

(j) Federal Models A1850, A2000 and A2000A installed in accordance with Federal
Aircraft Works, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Dwg. 11R262.


These are the options from the PA-18 Type certificate for skis. I edited out everything that is not approved for the PA-18 150. I have a field approval for the AWB2500's if you need a copy.

Paul is correct that there is no TC approval for AWB 2500s on the Cub. There are a lot of these skis field approved on these skis, but I don't know whether that works in Canada or not.

Also, Wipaire now sells the Fluidyne C-2200 retractable wheel skis, which are approved on the Cub under STC SA3-328. There are still older Fluidyne skis around that you might be able to find used, and buy the stc from Wip.

Does anyone have a copy of drawing 11R1101 and the flight manual supplement that accompanies AWB-2100 Skis? Preferably digital format, but anything will do! Please PM me. Thanks!

I am just now putting FED AWB 2500s on my 170 . The installation drawings show approved for only C 170 and C180. Progressing slowly but can see the end. Took over 3 months to round up all the parts after getting skis and pump. ie; axles, fuselage fittings, bungees.
good luck

Do you have the drawing for the install on a 170/180 in PDF? I have a friend trying to install them as well, and looking for them. Thanks!
