| Subject: | Shaking Vary Eze when applying brakes at 25kts |
Hi guys
I have a problem with my Vary Eze. When I apply brakes after landing and speed
goes through about 25 kts the whole aircraft starts to shake. It's not quite a
shimmy as I think the shaking starting at the main wheels. I tried to film it
today but I couldn't see anything yet. I try to post the films later.
Also my tires are well-worn on the inner side. Maybe it's a wheel alignment issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help

It IS the Main gear... This has been covered many times before...

I've had the same issue on my Legacy FG. It's caused by movement in the ver
tical leg socket. Lancair sells some very thin spacing material to tighten
the gap.
If you jack up your plane and grab the wheel with both hands you should no
t be able to move it side to side.

Fabian,
The MLG attach may be loose as others are telling you but if shimmy only occurs
during braking at certain speeds, the following will probably apply. (I
originally learned this from Gary Hertzler.)
Applying brakes at certain speeds can excite an oscillation in the main gear if
the brake rotors are warped. It is virtually indistinguishable from nose wheel
shimmy. When the shimmy occurs, release pressure on the brake pedals and see if
the shimmy stops.
After 1000 hours the Cleveland rotors on my Long-EZ were too thin to true so I
replaced them. It made all the difference in the world. I installed new Rapco
rotors -- lower cost than the Clevelands. Of course, your VariEze probably uses
different brakes.
Nice to see some genuine activity on the Matronics EZ-List instead of the usual
anarchy on the Yahoo (appropriately named) C-A list :-)
Best,
Joe

Glenn,
Wrong airplane your speaking about.. An EZ gear will move back and
forth,, It should not move fore and aft. This condition can be caused by
brake discs that are not true, a loose main gear, a broken, cracked or
damaged gear mount or anything loose in the mounting ears.
