What kind of trim changes do you guys make if any when switching to skis?
thanks

Non... my Cub doesn't seem to know the difference. A little heavier maybe, but no trim adjustment was needed.

I have my skiis adjusted so they fly level. No trim adjustments necessary. When I first installed them the wind "tipped" them up, causing control issues and drag. I since put a second spring facing forward to control tipping up in flight.

No special adjustments here either. I have some homemade skis that fly with the tips up and it works great. I had a blast yesterday with 5" of new powder.

No adjustments here either. Just don't give the ski's too much up angle with the spring. Then it starts to act as an elevator. I haven't had this problem though. They've been working great.

Thanks for the responses guys.
I tried mine for the first time on Sunday last week and found that I had to put in down and right trim and more throttle. Maybe I have them tilted up too much, so they were acting like elevators and brakes. I'll try them flatter next time I get out.
