It is better if I use alot of back presure early relieving some weight off the nose. It seems to go away as the speed picks up. It is coming from the nose gear. Any ideas on the fix? dan farmer --------------------------------- ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:32:53 PM PST US From: "Tom Fisher" Subject: Re: Commander-List: nose gear shimmy --> Commander-List message posted by: "Tom Fisher" Anti-shimmy pads, adjust the screws that tighten the spring pressure.

I just had the mechanic tighten up the friction assembly on the nose strut and it went away. It doesn't take much to make the shimmy go away. Too tight and the nose wheel steering is sluggish.
