I'd like to know how mass creates the issue. The heavier wheel will likely occilate at a lower frequency/higher amplitude, but I maintain the problem lies strictly with the geometry. I've worked on numerous trucks with this issue in the front end (commonly referred to as "death wobble ") and reducing the weight/size of the rotating mass is not how you solve it. Taking out caster is.
i would agree with MTV on this Perry. My 3200 tail wheel will shimmy on almost every landing on pavement with my tail ski attached. Without it, it doesn't.
