REFLECTOR:Nose Gear Shimmy

[Scott Derrick]

Chuck,

That's very interesting!! I worry about the pressure in the nose gear, 
one because its so lightly loaded before I get in there is no visual 
indication of low pressure, two its a bear to check or fill, thus 
inducing the "I'll get that later" thought as I eye it during pre-flight.

I do keep my castoring pressure washers pretty tight, which makes 
turning a chore at times but I hate a shimmy.
