Steering damper on trike - worth putting on?

[Koevoet]

Microlight Trike (Scout) - I have seen it on photo's but is it worth putting on.

Had recently landed on an old ashalt runway - very uneven surface.
I really had to use force to keep straight as the front wheel where going (wabble left/right).

Did 3 touch and go and 2 full stops - with the same result.

On other gravel and tar rw i don't have any problems.

The steering bolt is tight but free to turn.

Will a steering damper on front wheel work?

I have flown with both. Can't say that I felt a difference. If it was a major improvement, most trikes would have them.

My advice, stick with what you have. And go and buy fuel for what it would have cost you.
