Tipping nose up is OK. Tipping nose down is fatal. So, you want a spring that will keep them slightly nose up in flight. If you have a Higley or K&S rod bender it's easy to make a spring with two legs to do that (one with an "L" bend to fit in a hole in the ski and the other end with a "J" to bend around the strut).

Here's a version that use a torsion spring - easier to nake if you don't have a bender.
