Snow Blower

Here is a little something I bashed together so I could fly on the snow 2ch steering and throttle.
What I learned,
1) snow is not as slick as on might think. The large surface area of the craft created enormous drag problems.
2) foam board is not water proof the paper facing pealed off making a big mess and created more drag.
3) this design would do better on water.
The next try will be a catamaran or Tri-Hull design using a packing tape as a waterproofing skin.

this the one you had on Fb?

I love your style & your attitude Warren, You are the experimenter who's having a go & I'm the redundant scientist who's lost the plot.
I envy you mate.
Please keep cracking on with this, it's what aeromodelling is all about.

Yes Willowlea I posted it on Face Book. It worked better on the grass as the tips of the grass had less surface area contact therefore less drag.
