REFLECTOR: Towing

[David Rene Dugas]

Yes. 
I don't know if the nose gear pivot bolt broke causing the reinforcing "taco" weld to break or the reverse or something else. But I replaced the nose gear and added the dampener. A Velo shimmy is not like a Cessna shimmy. Not the same animal at all. 
I'll send a couple pics of the gear too FYI.

My hanger has a lip too. My choice solo is to power into the hanger or tow. I push or pull on the canard all other times and always(so far) ask the linemen to let me park so they will not need to move me.
