Our 7 is 11 years old, we have had the original, an alternate, a forked unit etc.
We still get plagued by lack of steering or shimmy.
The two are not necessarily connected btw. The locking pin gets gummed up with grease.
How are people maintaining their tailwheel units ? Grease, no grease. Oil, no oil ?
Is this an ongoing 3 monthly maintenance issue - just wash it out with solvent and re oil ?
Our problem is we are training new guys onto the aeroplane ( new gals are welcome ) - phew.... got away with that one
Suggestions most welcome.
Mike
