Shimmy fix

I'd been getting a lot of main gear shimmy when braking, possibly made worse since changing to the smaller Carlisle 15x6.00-6NHS 6-rib tires some time ago.  I almost exclusively use paved runways, by the way.  I made a couple of plates from .125 aluminum and set them between the upper gear mount rubbers and the gear/strut bracket.  Almost no shimmy now.  See More

Building and Flying Info / Your Profession / Other Background Info
Immediately after getting my Private license, I slo-built RV-6A N51PW "Mojo" from 1999 thru 2004. We have enjoyed over 1100 de-lightful hours so far. I started work on N701RX early in 2015 and she took me to OSH in 2018. She began as a standard 701 kit and I, well, took some liberties... "Elixir" and I have shared almost 100 de-lightedly different hours together so far with many more to come!
