RC Plane Snow Skis for Millennium Master

thingiverse

Starting with JUSS10's design, I significantly revamped it for my Tower (Flyzone) Millennium Master. I capitalized on the plane's existing landing gear wires, eliminated the wheels, and installed skis instead. I employed #64 rubber bands to generate tension and keep the ski tip-up (though numerous other options would likely work). I placed 3mm collars on the wires to secure the skis in place. To create two main skis, print one as is, and then mirror its image. Due to my 200 x 200 mm print bed, I had to position the skis diagonally, on their side. The ski with the notch for the landing gear wire should face upwards. I carefully elevated the tip of the nose gear ski slightly (from how it printed) by softly heating the plastic with a heat gun and holding it up until it cooled. Only a slight adjustment was necessary, so it's now about the same height as the mains skis. Here's my maiden flight video: https://youtu.be/giQDCvDN2tc
