BTW, I'm selling this because I converted to a Burl's Magnum a few years ago. I think the Magnum may have a bit of a performance edge, but the main advantage I notice is the ease of installation and removal. The Aero is kind of a pain where it clamps to the TW fork. But I found the Aero to be a fine ski, otherwise. If you can deal with a couple minutes' grief twice a year, then it comes at a big cost savings over a new Magnum. (Or a new Aero, for that matter).

Hey DP, will this fit on the BBW setup? Im guessing it is too narrow, but just asking.

I don't believe that it will. I don't own a BBW to compare, but the slot in this ski is sized just right for a standard 3200 TW tire. There are some folks out there that have two complete tailwheel assemblies to swap back and forth. A BBW for summer, and a dedicated 3200 (or 3400) with a ski for winter.

Thanks DP. The BBW is quilted a bit wider. I suppose I could buy another tailwheel setup, but that would have to come out of my "buy a bigger plane fund", and i think I'd rather leave the money there.

The tail ski has a new owner. Thanks to everyone that checked out the ad.
