The TrickAir Tail Ski enhances flotation when operating in deep snow and reduces drag for shortened take-off roll. In deep or crusty snow conditions, the tail ski protects the tail-wheel assembly, beacons, and antenna mounted on the aircraft belly by keeping the wheel above the crust layer. The added flotation also aids in turning heavy-tailed aircraft.
The wheel-penetration design allows you to operate equally well on paved runways and deep backcountry powder.
The Trickair tail ski is designed to be installed on aircraft equipped with Scott 3200/ 3200A or the Alaskan Bushwheel ABI-3200/3200A tail wheel.
As with all TrickAir skis, the tail ski is constructed of lightweight carbon fiber vinylester composite materials that are stronger than steel and aluminum but a fraction of the weight.
