All,
There is a pretty extended discussion on the Cozy list about Main Gear
vibration. Seems as if the gear legs start vibrating / oscillating
during braking from about 45 kts down to 30 kts or thereabouts. If you
let off the brakes at 45, coast down to 30 and re-apply the brakes there
is no vibration.
I was wondering if this might be a known / well known / common
phenomenon in the Velocity / RV communities. Seems as if it's fairly
common in all of the direct derivatives of Rutan airplanes (EZ, Cozy,
Defiant).
Inquiring minds need to know ... Jim S.
