I just received this in an e-mail. Has anyone looked into it yet? I'm going to call them on Monday to see if C-140 is on their STC list and for price.

When properly set up and maintained, your tailwheel should not shimmy. If it does, you probably have a operator error problem.

Agree with last post Kind Of? we had a brand new 3200 on 48 140 new leafs and new steering springs all set per manufacture specs. Would shimmy 50% of landings on pavement tried a lot of things thought that landing with a little rudder was the cause? (my mentor with some 5000hrs TW time) never got it to stop . Switched back to Scott 2000 it never shimmy's There are a lot of 3200 with no problems on are planes. I sure liked the smooth quiet ground feel of the 3200 just got done O/H two and there very well built and way over built compared to the 2000 ones. Oh and the 2000 works well during flight too! LOL
