Congrats on taxing. Check your toe-in also. So far no shimmy on N444DX. I
think most shimmy is caused by front strut miss-alignment and toe in
asymmetry. We are shut down on tests because of NW sucky weather. Last
flight was 40+ minutes. Roll control is much better and 444DX is showing
signs of being a fast plane.
My test pilot complained of the trim overshoot. So I have added circuitry
to eliminate that. I couldn't get the single pole double throw version to
work (it makes sense on paper, but....) so I did it with a double throw,
double pole and it works fine on the ground. We will see how it is in the
air.
