| Subject: | Yak 52 shimmy damper |
Hi,
After touching down the Yak started to shake violently. After reducing some
speed the shaking ended.
Checking the airplane, the nosewheel shimmy damper shaft was sheared.
What I would like to know is the reason for this failure. I mean, Is this a
problem of hard landings?, maybe a bad design? or just fatigue?
Thanks,
Jose del Peso

Just had a delightful experience with Desser. Back in May, I UPSed a couple
of 500X150 mains for retreading for my CJ. Two weeks went by without a word
from Desser. Left messages and emails, but no response. Odd. Then last week
using Desser's message feature on its web site, I ask for help. Gus at
Desser got right back to me. With UPS's tracking number, Gus confirmed that
they'd received the tires but couldn't locate them.
"We're very sorry about this. It's not the way we operate. We'll send you
two new tires now for the price of retreads," Gus offered.
Great product. Great folks.

You did not mention the before condition of your dampener. If the shaft that holds
the dampener to the plane is worn or any of it's components or the dampener
it's self is not serviced or the tire is out of balance for long periods causing
some of the fore mentioned issues it can cause pounding of the parts until
something fails. I have seen a lot of dampeners loose hanging from the strut
waiting to fail. I have personally shown some of the pilots this and they
just look at me and say "yea that's how it was when I bought it"

Quick question , seeing as I'm using the whirlwind W530 2.5 meter blades on my
Yak55m.
Is there any recorded height for Yak55's. where do we measure? How do we know how
much if any our undercarriage has sagged. I'm certainly very wary of bumpy
strips and always land 3 point.
Thanks guys a great forum.

Hey Peter, I'm operating a Yak55m. Was just wondering how you are finding the SU29.
I just love my 55m, but never flown a SU. why did you choose a 29?
Cheers Steve.
