Need something to keep the ski tips up just a bit. There’s abetter than even chance airload will pull the tip down if the AOA is nose down. A small spring run from the tip to the top of the gear leg should do it. Just relaxed when weight is off & a slight extension when it’s on. Shouldn’t need a rotation limiter at the aft end that way; the relaxed spring will act as a limiter under airload compression. Hate to see all that work end up on it’s back cause a ski top caught.
