In 1963 Mike Burns adapted the flexible wing to build a kite-hang glider he called Skiplane.

The high-lift wing and powerful engine made the Super Cub a prime candidate for conversion to either floatplane or skiplane.

The aircraft can be constructed as a taildragger or on tricycle gear and flown as a skiplane or on floats.

An Australian engineer Mike Burns developed and used the boat-towed Rogallo-airfoiled SkiPlane starting in 1962 through the 1960s.

Between my meditations on Peary's toes, I recalled the words of another Arctic hardy, the pilot of the Twin Otter skiplane that had dropped us here.

We've decided on a ski-plane to fly you out - They're the only planes that can land in those damned mountains.

Access is by helicopter, ski-plane or by a very long overland route in both summer and winter.

Optional lunch at the Hermitage Hotel or perhaps a scenic ski-plane flight.

Transportation options are boat, bush/float-plane, or in the winter ski-plane/snowmachine.

Proposed ski-plane variant, not built.

It you can find a charter ski-plane to take you as far as Gull Pond we can probably get a dog-team to pick you up there.

Mr Ban skipped a three-course lunch that the Chilean Air Force had prepared so that he could land by ski-plane on the retreating Collins glacier.
