REFLECTOR: Shimmy on landing

[Wayne]

With 25 # of ballast in the nose  and 25 gallons of fuel I measured the 
casting front flat surface. It was Negative 86 degrees. I expect it is about 
neutral with me in the pilot seat.but that would be hard to measure.

Now there is less positive caster.  The vertical
section down at the fork is more nearly vertical. The last 50 hours have
been fine.

Wayne;
Do you happen to know what the caster angle is? (You know; plane level, and
all that).

Just going from memory here I think the recommended caster is a positive 2 -
2 1/2 degrees.  Somebody can correct me on this.
