REFLECTOR: Shimmy

[Scott Derrick]

I see you still have the tension washers installed?  Are they now just 
spacers?

Did you mount the powder coated dingus to the strut flange?

What was the total cost?

> Just got my Dampier back and mounted. Looks real cute. Easy taxi now. Thought some might wish to zoom in on the tire to see how violent a shimmy can be. All the cross hatching is result of recent mild shimmy. 35# pressure in tire and 15 # of tension measured with a fish gage just before flight. Solo flight, 3/4 fuel, smooth runway. Slight cross wind crab corrected well I thought. 600 hrs in Velocity.
