| Subject: | nose gear shimmy |
For the first time ever, I had a bit of nose gear shimmy after landing. Our Allegro
is the oldest one in the USA so perhaps no one else has yet experienced this.
Ours has 565 hours on it. Upon inspecting, I found the "drawbar attachment
bearing" allowing a little fore/aft movement. Ours is factory built so I've
not had to install or remove this part which is referred to as "store number"
06-03 and "catalogue number" 6001260 in my assembly manual.
My questions:
1) Have you had any nose gear shimmy?
2) If so, was this the cause or was it something else?
3) For those who built their Allegro, what is involved in removing the old one
and installing the new part? It looks like removing the fork and the lower "spacer"
will allow it to be slid off the nose gear tube.
4) I've asked B Bar D for price and availability but have not hear back from them
yet.
