Default Interesting OSH Landing Video - Nosegar Oscillation
Anybody see this video of an RV-7A landing at OSH? I thought it was very interesting to see the nosegear oscillation. Definitely NOT the recommended way to land a nosewheel RV! Start watching at 1:55...

Just to make it easier for others to find, it is the daily update video from Monday.

I've seen a lot worse. I saw one C-170 dropped in from about 5' on Sunday afternoon at Osh. I felt sorry for the poor airplane, and I'm sure whoever was flying wasn't too pleased either.

The nosegear oscillation is something I've seen time and time again on -A's.. Good landings, bad landings, fast taxi, slow taxi, the nosegear on some of the -A's has a definite fore/aft vibration/wobble...
