i have found out by experience that skis are no good for tricycle undercarraige but have yet to try them on a tail dragger.

Tail wheel worked fine for steering. In the videos Sam lands across the field, then he taxis round and takes off again. It is quite a heavy plane for skis so used 3/4 power for take off (that's why as soon as it leaves the ground it goes straight up).
