For the first four years we flew our -6, we never had a shimmy problem. Recently, my dad said that he's occasionally gotten shimmy on rollout, which doesn't stop until he's basically stopped the airplane. I never experienced it before today, when he was landing. He did a three-point, and the shimmy started soon after he pinned the tail. On the next (wheel) landing, no shimmy. Like I said, he's had this happen before (first time, he thought it was a blown tire), but it's never happened to me when I fly it. We tried straightening out the tailwheel, since it was maybe two degrees from vertical, and tightening the axle nuts on the mains, but it didn't seem to help.
Anyone have insight on this? Thanks
