Definitely  a shimmy problem but you need to inspect the whole thing based
on my previous experiences! Then ensure the setting is done to the book.

<r.frost@rslnorthern.co.uk>

On landing at Sherburn on the hard runway when we slowed to around 35 knots
the nose wheel started to bounce up and down rapidly. My buddy Roger was P1
and he held the stick hard back but it continued "bounce" until we slowed to
20 knots. In 100 hours and hundreds of landings this has never occurred.
I have the nose wheel spring mod fitted, not the bungee, any ideas, could it
be the shimmy damper needs checking?
