I went out and test flew this one in the Wind today. The E-flite P-39 Airacobra

Nice looking skies how does the mechanism on the skies work. There so many ways of doing it just interested in how you have done it.
Tried to blow it up just got to fuzzy, is it coil over shock.

Sure is! It's an old TMAXX shock strut. It does toe in the skis a bit being off center, but not that bad. Got some video, looking forward to putting something out with it!

I mounted a tail wheel on the rudder of my 2.1 Cessna and a GO-PRO camera under the fuselage to get a bird's Eye view of me trying to do Wheelie ( main gear only touch and goes ) also had a blast doing down on the deck figure 8's

I really liked that and enjoyed it. The view from the bottom is out standing. You really get a good view of everything. I would say that would be the place on a plane for a camera. Thanks.

I agree with you Snoopy1 the reason I mounted it on the bottom was to get a birds Eye view of doing landings with out letting the nose wheel touch down. I was no way expected the view to be so good. I plan on doing many more this way

If winter continues like this, I’ll need to find a way to put skis on the Python!

I am like you the weather in my area has been brutal for last 2 weeks and the next 2 weeks do not look good. Had up 38 inches of snow in past two weeks and the temperatures have been in the low teens, with winds up 60 mph. This is like weather from the middle of January.
