I read a report abt shooting foam into the area and I did that. It worked OK
, but I'll give you a few things to be carful abt if you do use the foam int
o the open area. First, make very sure you will not have to change the fairi
ngs later. n other words, have the wheel pants & the upper leg fairings all
set and make sure the fairings are aerodinamically set where they need to be
before you begin. You have to do this anyway or should as is shown in the p
lans. If you use this method, get a longer tube to shoot the foam in so you
get it abt to the center of the fairing. Stop squirting the foam in well bef
ore you get to the top or bottom because the foam really expands and will co
me out the top & bottom & then you've got a mess.=C2- I did=C2-mine that
way & I've been flying for 2 years and still fine. I've noticed when I taxi
, you can hear the foam moving, but the gear will flex no matter what you us
e. Hope this helps. Tony=C2-=C2-=C2-

els have never shimmied like Mike Seager's training RV-7.

I installed wood dampeners and I find I should have made them thicker
(maybe a harder wood as well) as I still pick up a shimmy when taxiing
on an uneven tar surface. I have to use the brakes to stop the shimmy,
so yes, they should be fitted.
