Default Boomerang intro with floats or ski.

Thinking of adding floats or ski to the boomerang. What is the formula for size needed and how far in front of the nose do you extend the ski.
Thanks,
Burt

Does anyone have a rough formula or rule of thumb for how much snow ski area is required per pound of weight?

Are there any implications other than snow fod and possible hard starting with flying a jet in the winter?

I think you are on your own there.... depends what kind of snow you have ...light puffy stuff, hard crusty, or wet and heavy.....

I can see comming in for a nice slow gentle landing, touchdown in the white soft snow, HIT the brakes and smash into a tree........ How do you guys plan on stopping these things?????
