Jurgen,
For more information, go to http://www.europa-aircraft.com/ and select "Builder
Assistance" from the colum on the left. After that page loads, select the
"BUILDERS MANUALS" tab. This will load the page with the Builder's Manuals.
Scroll down that page and select Chapter 29T - Landing Gear Tri Gear. Find the
Nose Gear Introduction on Page 8 and begin reading there. Read at least
through page 11.
Do not fly the aircraft again until the nose wheel shimmy has been corrected.
You will damage the nose wheel assembly. Don't hesitate to call Europa for
assistance
and supplemental instructions either.
If you need assistance translating the English to German, go to
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ to help in translating the document. The
translations are not perfect, but they help.
Viel gluck mein freund.
