What was your landing roll-out on ice?

[ch300fnqi]

@MrUrbanking21 It's hard to tell as there are little references. But 1500 to 2000 ft is probably about right, without forcing it too much. You try to avoid using the brakes as much as possible.

The ice is usually about 2 ft, but I don't really know for sure. The lake freezes up late in January, but once frozen, it is solid. I've driven on it years ago, allthough that's a little scary.

A slide show on YouTube is always boring as hell. The purpose of video is to show MOTION, you can put a slide show on a regular web site and have better rez pix too.

you can get some "ice screws" from any where that sells mountain climbing equipment.

then you don't have to worry about finding a place to tie down.

hey great trip! question: how much distance do you need for the ground roll?

[ratvivby]

Those are great conditions, no snow on the lake, must be early winter.
