The short synopsis goes like this:
- Tailwheel geometry is the biggest contributing factor to shimmy
- Fixing the tailwheel geometry can be fairly easy and low cost.
- Another VAF user has discussed a method for putting a bend in the tail spring to improve the steering angle geometry, with good results (link here)
This is the geometry we're shooting for.

After reading through the information here, I suspect I know the answer. That being said, how does my geometry look?
