Bob, I keep fiddling with the stabilizers to max the stability and am not sure what is the best approach. What I do (currently) is snug each rear stabilizer until it touches down. Then I go back and turn each 3/4 turn tighter. That seems to make a difference. Then I lower the scissor jacks until they just touch down. If I tighten any more they will lift the rear stabilizers. I don't know what's the best approach but this is what I'm doing currently. I've tried 1/2 turn and 1 full turn and no turns and settled on 3/4 turn.

Al (countryguy) also convinced me to use several blocks with the stabilizers to keep the angle from being too downward. That seems to help, too. And also to put several blocks under the front landing gear, then lower the gear with the button until just a few inches above the blocks. Then drop the inner legs. That seems to help stability also. Dropping the inners a long way seems to hurt stability.
