That tire is wedged in there like it was a fresh-baked loaf of bread.

I wonder how you adjust the DIN setting?

You get the shock absorbing of the tire also. Looks like a pretty good simple setup, too I bad I need retractable wheel skis where I operate, that's why I have the Datum's.

Skl flying, won't be long

Sorry, Zane, but that ain't very new technology. Skis like that were pretty common back in the forties and fifties.......

Some of the Call Air skis attached that way.

Mike, you have to watch closely for the winky, as well as just have a little faith that I know when I've taken a photograph in a museum.

This particular ski was attached to a Taylorcraft at Hood River.

The only Taylorcraft that had bungees on the external strut like that is the Model D and L-2 series. That much drag usually has the word Piper written on it somewhere

Ah yeah, my mistake. Not a Taylorcraft, but a Taylor Cub, which is I guess, ancestor to almost everything:

That looks like a cool museum! I'll have to swing by there next time I'm in the area.

Good one EZ!

I don't care how old an idea that is, it still looks good to me..... I can see airing down the tire, clamping it in there, and then airing it back up, and it would really be locked in there.

Zzzzz you trickster

you have to watch closely for the winky

There are at least a dozen plus joke in that statement.....

More low hanging....er... fruit....
