Thanks to those who offered suggestions on the shimmy problem. We did
have a toe in problem that was fixed and did seem to make the low
speed taxi shimmy better. The high speed shimmy was still an issue
and we finally got someone next to the runway on landing. The high
speed issue was a very impressive nose gear shimmy. I had suspected
this, but we got side tracked when we found the main shimmy. We had
checked the shimmy damper on the nose gear using the grease plate
technique and it seemed fine. We are going to pull the nose wheel
pant and fly again, but I think we'll need to get the nose gear strut
rebuilt. BTW it is one of the "new" struts. I guess common issues
are common.
Thanks again.
