    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 regards Steve Behn Lightning 69 still a long way to go. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Strahan" <bill@gdsx.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2012 11:08 AM Subject: Lightning-List: Re: Landing gear shimmy > > Okay, the stiffeners are built.
