[Velocity]

You also have the locking pin setup to stop the shimmy  or is that not used?

  I would definitely use the grease, but we've been flying the nylon nut solution for awhile and really like it.  It keeps a relatively usable break-out force but still has enough friction to damp out shimmy.  We think the airplane stays very steerable with this setup.
