Andrew
is now making the Extended Skids for the Rotorway Helcopters.
In the above photo Andrew
is flying his first solo with the extended skids that he makes
In the photo below you
can compare the Standard Skids on the Exec 162F in front with
those on Andrews Ship
Andrew
uses a state of the art bender that puts a smooth even bend in the
skid tube and skid shoe. Other methods leave a weak area in the
bend as seen below.
The
bends on the above skids are not as strong as the skids with the
smooth bend like the ones that Andrew makes. Also notice how the
skid shoe does not follow the curve up the front of the skid as
in Andrew's shoes shown in his photos. This is better than the stock
Rotorway skids but is not the ultimate in design or strength.
