Here you go. It stops shimmy cold in its tracks on a Titan Tornado. Here's the link to our web site. This page has photos, drawings, and a video that shows you how it works.

Subject: [Titanaircraft] Nose wheel shimmy
Hello all,
A while back there was a thread on nose wheel shimmy during takeoff and landing. I can't seem to find the thread in the archives.
Can anyone remember the date it was started? I looked through Sept and Oct.
I've balanced my wheel/tire staticly by using the "random stop" test, I've checked the tire for out of round, and I've spun the tire and wheel up with the edge of a 7" buffer. I don't think the buffer got the wheel up beyond about 25 mph unfortunately.
My shaking starts around 45mph and is pretty bad.
I think the old thread has a link to a steering damper. I'd really like to try that.
thanks
Ed B
