Nosegear shimmy is mostly caused by loose or worn
scissor links.
Tighten the bolts is helping some, overhauling the
bushings due from time to time.
Too low or too high tire pressure is making the
problem even worse.
Pressure should be between 17 and 20
lbs.
Of course worn bearings and tires are also
contributing to the problem. But I would check the scissor links
first.

I'm in a small group that flies N3868H. She belongs to the Western North Carolina Air Museum in Hendersonville, NC. By the way, we extend an invitation to all to stop by and admire our collection of vintage aircraft. Info is available at www.wncairmuseum.com. I have searched the various websites I could find on the Ercoupe, for a Pre Flight Checklist with no success. Ours is the 415 CD, now with a Continental C-85. Do any of you have one or know where I can retrieve one from on the web? I appreciate the help.By the way, my check ride instructor has had an Ercoupe in his family for 56 years. Guess he must like it. ;-)Bil Kransteuber============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers/
