  Have you ever seen the little dings on the side skins just forward of
the
tail group? They are slow down. Had someone just recently,  Charlie Eck it
was, said that he though the dents on the top tail cone skins were caused
by
something besides people moving the airplane around. Charlie want to
expand
on this. Warren

Sounded high to us too. So we set the ones in my Alon to approximately
130 lbs, which was the maximum indicated by the instrument my mechanic
owned. Seemed to work OK and he didn't think it was a problem, based on
experience with other aircraft.
