So this is my porbably 3 flight with my c-17 got it for christmas and i just couldn't to fly so i did not XD and it was great that i didn't or else i might never have been able to put skis on my c-17 :D
I have recently moved were there is no snow so my next big project shall be to make my c-17 be able to go on water ;) it is gonna be a fun adventure
Here are how the skis look and thumbs up for my vids please means alot
so first you get really big skis and you measure it to 24.5cm because when you start lifting off you dont want to rest of the ski to stay on the ground and kinda pushing it down. So basically you want to stop were the normal wheels would stop
So this if the front ski nothing complicated this is the original ski i did not change anything about it. I only made the whole bigger the fit the elastic like that it stays stuck to the wheel's and while its flying the front of the ski goes up and not down like that you get a great landing
So here is what i used you see the little things that go in the wholes of the big ski, We'll basically i but one on each of them and made sure that they stayed there. Since there are sooooooo many wheels on the plane basically you a good long piece of the t-shirt hanger and you stick under the metal of the ski, the little piece and then you kinda just try to bend the stick into all the wheeels and make it stay there it worked perfectly for as you see
Have fun with what you have its a hobbie :)
