A little Soviet detour...

How did they steer them?...

 Oh, that was a simple matter of invincible proletarian class consciousness correctly directed by the unflagging wisdom of Comrade Stal...

 

I suspect the small one was 'steered' by traditional 'leaning'. Or getting out and pulling it around to point in the desired direction when in a hurry. The two larger specimens have those rods from the ski outriggers to central cranks, which possibly 'bent' the outriggers to steer. Rather like wingwarping on early aircraft.

How did they steer them? I can see no kingpin on them - nor a rudder. Did the engine/propeller pivot?

The small one has regular rack steering.

The other two uses the crank and struts to steer by pulling the inward skis together and as the struts are mounted opposite on the other side the outer skis are pulled apart.
