Jinxed airplanes ???

Well, I dunno about all that. I can't say I've ever had an encounter with
a malevolent aircraft (except for a 2-22 that flew practically ballistically
with the flight profile of a rock :-)

Some things to have checked: 1. Wheel bearings for looseness and rotational
friction (two separate items). 2. Wheel alignment for all 3 wheels 3. Nosewheel
shimmy damper effectiveness (is it assymetric ?)

Sounds to me like something is WRONG and I wouldn't fly it until I knew what
and could decide to either acknowledge it and fly making provisions for the
problem or just plain wait until it is fixed.

BTW, personality does not imply there's a heart there. Foul up and it will
kill you dead with no regrets........
