REFLECTOR: Main LG vibration on braking ...

[Rene Dugas]

Mine doesn't although I do feel a slight vibration on acceleration for
rotation.  250 hrs flying so far so good.

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.
