RC plane on homemade skis with onboard camera

[JavyBond004]

Im actually soon going to be flying on snow for the first time in my life soon. Any tips would be helpful and what kind of camera did you have on your model?

@JavyBond004 Tips, if the skis are scratch-built, they need to be covered with something very smooth from the bottom, I used normal monocote and it worked great. Bare plywood doesn't glide over snow at all. Also, if you will be flying from powder snow, the bigger the surface area of the skis, the better ;) I manage with these skis, but I need to pull up on the elevator and accelerate till the skis get pulled out of the snow and start skimming the surface. Occasionaly they get stuck. good luck :)

@smilesevic it's the S.E.5a from greatplanes / electrifly, they've got a couple other biplanes too, so you can choose. Biplanes are a lot of fun : )

That was absolutely one of the best RC snow videos! Great flying, shooting and editing! Skis are very cool, did you build them? Fun to watch too!!!

I made the skis from some thin plywood and balsa. I'm glad you enjoyed the vid, and thanks for subscribing too : )
