It is even more important with the TSIO550 due to turbos and intercoolers. If I am alone in the airplane I have landed many times with the elevator hitting the stop. The landings have resulted in perfect touchdown but I don't think they would be very successful if I hadn't changed the position of the HS to -.06 degrees. Bryan J.

This was done because of the heavier nose wi/ the IO-55x engine and a three blade metal prop. Anyone else hear that?
