AirGlide C3000 Skis
Don’t let old man winter freeze your flight plans. The
MX7-235 can be equipped with skis to keep you going all year.
Our non-penetration skis offer peak performance on either snow or the runway. Compromised penetration skis result in extra drag from a wheel during a snow landing or take-off and potential damage to the ski on dry ground. Our ski operates as either a full ski OR a wheel at your discretion.
Now you don’t have to sacrifice performance for convenience!
The MX7-235 can be equipped with either C2200 or C3000 Skis.
