Hi Keith, I am always very maticulous in the preparation and care I take with all the airframe components. One of the main gear oleo pins did shear at low speed on an early take off run but this was attributed to excessive toe-in. The oleo remained supporting the airframe and I cannot recall the stab touching the ground at any point.

From your point of view I would follow Com-arf advise, and speak to your rep, they are the experts.

Regards

Rob.
