Cross Country Skiing Kitfox Style

I haven't posted here in a while. There doesn't seem like a lot of east coast action here, been over at supercub.org. That just not right so I'm back to bring in some east coast action. Here is a video of the last day of ski flying from last year.

Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it. I'm from Virginia and keep thinking it might be time to move back home----at least for the winter.

Re: Cross Country Skiing Kitfox Style

Nice Video. What brand and style of skis are you using -- straight, wheel penetration, hydraulic? We have wheel penetration skis on the Aerotrek 220 and they are a bit of a drag.

Those are Federal 1500 straight skis. Around here something like Datums would work better. We just don't get enough snow. There is always snow an hour north of here.
