Plans indicate the trailing edge beveled edge on the top of the elevator pointing 15 degrees up, causing a permanent down trim.The instructions indicate in two separate places, the beveled trailing edge should be on the bottom of the elevator creating a flat and  neutral lift trailing edge.My question is:  which is the correct?See More

Golf Cart Tire load ratings

Can someone help me understand why Carlisle tires are ok for the 750? The Carlisle website shows a load rating for 8.00-6 tires are 410 lbs at only 10 mph. That isn't even close to 30-40 mph takeoff speed or landing speed, and if the static load on each wheel at 1320 or 1440 (410-480 per wheel), already exceeds the load rating of each tire,we haven't even taken into account additional downward load on tires at landing, or side load.I know the Carlisle are cheap, but what manufacturer would…See More

Safety wire/pin?

I just installed the 750's rear bracket on the horizontal stabiliser, which requires two bolts as well as rivets. There is no mention on any safety wire or pin through the nut or the tip of the bolt. Is this correct or am I missing something. I don't want to rivet on the skins and then discover that I missed it. Any advice is welcome. Regards from Ireland.
