Technical Performance
The Timber 10-year Anniversary Edition ski set represents a significant upgrade to your aircraft's operational capabilities. By replacing traditional wheeled landing gear with purpose-designed skis, you fundamentally change how your aircraft interacts with different terrain types. Skis distribute your aircraft's weight across a much larger surface area compared to wheels, dramatically reducing the pressure on any given point and allowing safe operation on soft surfaces like snow and sand. The design optimises weight whilst maintaining structural integrity, ensuring your aircraft's flight characteristics remain balanced and responsive. This is particularly important for the Timber platform, which is renowned for its excellent handling qualities and forgiving flight behaviour. The ski set has been engineered to work seamlessly with the Timber's fuselage mounting points and weight distribution, maintaining the aircraft's inherent stability. Whether you're landing on packed snow, icy surfaces, or loose sand, the skis provide a smooth, controlled touchdown experience that protects your airframe and extends component lifespan. UK-based RC pilots will appreciate how this accessory opens up winter flying possibilities that would otherwise be completely inaccessible.
