I’ve been running ABW’s Tailwheel Shimmy Dampener for 2 years on our ACA Scout. When we put it on we also went to the ABW Baby Bushwheel which has a nasty reputation of shimmy on Scouts; just to give the dampener a solid test. I can report after maybe a hundred landings on concrete, asphalt, grass, gravel and dirt; high speed 3-points & wheel landings……not a single shimmy experience. A miracle innovation at least in our application. The best $1k I’ve spent on the airplane over the 9 years of ownership. And for the size / shape / weight of a sardine can.

I just wish all tail wheels had a lock like the late model 185s. Never had a shimmy with those.

Looks great. I’ve tried contacting twice via email. Nothing answered! Will give you a call.

Could you guys rig something up to retrofit on edo 2790's ? Kenmore wants $2500 per shimy damper,- thanks

[@earlebubar1805]

Great idea, would solve alot of problems, however its a very expensive option..... my guess is they woukd sell 5X as many if the price was 50%.....

Will this work with the T3 Tail Spring as well?
