Skis that can be 3D printed and used on RC planes to fly off the snow. Only tested on a tail dragger but should work for 3 wheeled model planes as well. A few different options were uploaded. Skis with and without directional grooves as well as two different axle blocks based on the length of the axle you have. Will also need a few small screws (I used 9g servo mounting screws) a few small rubber bands. Holes may require being drilled out based on axle and screw size used.
The files attached are only for left ski. You will have to mirror it in your slicer software to make a complete set of parts.
