Josh,
Yes, they will and they are TC'd. I have the same for my Champ including a tail ski. Haven't used them for a couple of years as it's hassle getting the plane out and about by myself but you can't beat ski flying for all around fun.
Didn't reallize you still had snow in Iowa

Ha!
Just about the truth. 105 on monday,,,,, 63 today. I want to be ready no matter what. If the great flood of 2011 does what it's supposed to, I'll need floats pretty soon. I live on one side of the flood and my shop is on the other side.
I may tap you for more tips and info as we dive head first into ski flying next winter....

Yeah Bob,
We need to get together some time. My partner has the old girl up in the Nebraska sandhills right now. But I should have it throughout the fall months.
We are both pretty jazzed about flying with skis.
later,
Josh
