Skilters? IDK, I used 1 about 10 years ago on a 55 FOWLR & I'll tell you what, I loved it......that was awhile ago. When I got back into the hobby last year everyone seemed to think they were junk. I did however read a thread on here from a member who modded his out & liked it....I was able to obtain a brand new 1 for free so I figured I'd give it a try. Like I said, all my experiences albeit awhile ago have been good....
