Schieder wheel penetration skis
The International Cessna 170 Association
They suck. I don't think the performance is as bad as a Landis penetration with the leaf spring tail hooks but close. The one thing i did like was.
I aquired a Schneider tail wheel penetration ski, Model but I have been unable to find an application chart. Anyone help?.

Description:A journal 7 is provided in each pedestal 2 and 3 to receive an extended axle 8 for the landing gear wheel 4. Because the arm 9 is secured to the strut 5 at the axle 8, the arm 9 serves as a column to prevent the clamp 12 from sliding down the strut 5 during repeated landings and taxiing of the airplane. It has an S engine which is from a year model Cessna. This invention is a ski mount assembly having a ski with pedestals straddling the landing gear wheel and fork or strut, an extended wheel axle pivotably attaching the ski to the landing gear through the pedestals, an arm clamped to the fork or strut and pivotably attached to the ski by the extended axle and a ski attitude control in which a spring acting between the arm and the ski urges the nose of the ski down against a stop connected to the arm. Another conventional tail ski mounting, that of Aero-Ski of Minneapolis, Minnesota, allows for a full tail wheel ski castering but without allowing any change in attitude of the ski. The conventional light airplane with a tricycle landing gear has a spring mounted steerable tail wheel with an overload release which allows the tail wheel to swivel around an obstruction.
