While my Ercoupe was parked at the local airport, it was moved by
airport personnel about 150 yards to a new parking spot. I suspect a
tug was used for the move. When I took off for a short flight I
expeienced a mild nose wheel shimmy just prior to liftoff, and when I
landed, I got a really bad shimmy.
I suspect something got bent when the airplane was moved, either pushed
backwards too fast or a turn that exceeded the nose wheel turn limit.
The airplane is in for an annual now so we are looking for what's
bent. Anybody got any ideas?
