REFLECTOR: Accident/Incident

[Al Gietzen]

By the way, I don't think the tension on the washer has much to do  
with it -- other than maybe making it LESS likely the gear could  
castor in flight. I suppose if you retract the gear while the  
nosewheel is still shimmying, that increases the chance of the gear  
getting cocked and stuck. In any case, the guides should do the trick.

Dave;

The issue may be that with high pivot drag the gear leg may bend sideways
just a bit as the wheel is forced in through the door; then forces it
against the guide - you think?
