The Baylands Grasslander-9 makes it possible to land and take off on rough mowed grass with ease. Built for rugged use out of black ABS plastic this RC aircraft ski will enhance the flying experience of most aircraft up to 4 pounds. Just picture yourself greasing landings and doing smooth touch and goes on your favorite grass or snow field where wheels just don't cut it.

This RC aircraft ski incorporates a torsion bar front suspension to smooth challenging landings and maintain correct attitude of attack in the air. Kit comes with 2-RC aircraft skis, 2-torsion bars, 2-3/4" lengths surgical tubing (used to connect bar to your gear wire)

Nice product. Do I recognise Baylands Park, Sunnyvale as the flying site ? Say hi to my friend Rick if you see him there.

Yes!

That is our wonderful field at Baylands Park. As a matter of fact Rick C. (if that is your friend) made the videos... Rick and I are in the middle of a tempestuous phase at the moment - we fly combat together...

I will mention you to him when we are speaking :eek::)

Thanks for your compliment on the skis!

Cool! Rick is a great guy, please do say "Hi" from me.

Baylands is indeed a lovely flying field, I have visited several times while in the area for business and even flew Rick's heli there once. If only I could bring my HyperFlea one time I could join the fray !

By all means - bring the Hyper-Flea if you visit!

We would relish your company in a fresh meat sort of way:D;)

Here is a link to a friends site where one of Rick's planes is on display. It's a modified Wild Wing.

On this same site there is a thread about how we build these little combat monsters and try to take each other out - and a bunch of great pictures, look in the archive. They are just about indestructible and have an incredible flight envelope.
