Subject: | Re: Landing gear shimmy |
This is just a thought, run thin rigging wire secured at the axle weldment
square plate up through the bottom of the fuselage on the line of the gear
leg and so that they would lie inside the fairings. Inside the fuslage they
could be tensioned against the floor or spar box using compression springs
This would stiffen up the entire system not only the leg and you could apply
the minium force required to aliviate the shimmy. Rigging wire would have to
have fastenings crimped on all available at any good marine chandlery
