Well, after denying that I had the dreaded wheel shimmy, I have to admit that I do. I've never noticed it during T/Os and landings, but Linda's comment that it occurred during taxi did it. Starts at 22K up through about 24, maybe 25. Knots, not mph. N17EF is light sport, no gear clean up or spats. Main tires are relatively new Goodyear Flight Custom III. Tire pressures 31psi+/-. Taxiways have all been concrete.

I've flown over 150 hrs in the last 12 months, and didn't notice it until the weather turned cold. Could that be a factor, or am I just a klutz.

HI Earl,
Great to hear from you again. One suggestion - Lower your tire pressure to 25psi to 28psi max. That alone will help the shimmy situation.
