Why not indeed? If it works for floatplanes...
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

central ski ? original !

AFAIK the HU-16 Albatrosses (Albatrii?) that had ski landing gear had exactly that, one largish retractable ski under the hull and small outrigger skis attached under the wing floats.

The only pic I can find that shows a ski-equipped Albatross on the snow is sitting on its hull, but the caption says the RCAF HU-16s did have a retractable central ski.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks Kit.

I have just realised I have some 1/25 surfboards which would make perfect central skis.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Does the headset constantly play a muted heartbeat?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
