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 like this. I don’t work on any tailwheel planes that this could work for currently but I will be remembering it for the future
Lose the music! If you trying to sell something it would be good for your costumers to hear the sales pitch.
Heard it just fine. Excellent part!
Can you post the price?
