WANTED!!! need to have skis built

[gradguy]

I need a pair of skis built for a graduate research project.

The skis are for a drone aircraft which weighs about 20lbs.

I have researched using, kids skis, both downhill and XC skis and all are too heavy for the required application.

The second issue is even the lightest XC skis couldn't be used because of the built in camber.

I'm looking for basic ski thats 3.5ft long 3in wide and is as light as possible.

The ski wouldn't need binding inserts, sidewalls, edges, camber or shaped profile.

literally the skis just need to float on top of snow and that's it.

I have/am considering making them myself, but it will likely be more efficient if I could partner with somebody who already has the skills, knowledge and hardware to layup a set.

Does anybody have any interest is helping out?

If that's the case I'd probably just cut the shape out of a 2x4 on a band saw and glue a piece of base to it. For that matter you could probably just use 6 mil plastic sheeting as a base material. Probably take an hour to build if you drink while you do it.

Not that I recommend drinking while using sharp tools that can cut your fingers off. Just sayin'.
