Yes the skis go up and down. To land on ice , select gear down , then hit the spoiler key , and the skis lower to the land position. to take of on a normal runway gear is down , but you will see the skis in the down position , raise the skis with the spoiler key,and you will see the raise and lower. regards alan. 8-)

Thanks Alan. Next time I fly in Antarctica X, I will do that. ;D
