If so, is there any special fabrication I need to be aware of? Thanks, Anthony. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:21:17 PM PST US From: Scott Poehlmann Subject: Re: Yak-List: Scott Taliwheel for Yak 55M Hi Anthony, I have a Scott 3200 on my 55M. I love it. MUCH superior to the Russian tail wheel, especially as regards pushing and pulling and steering into/out of the hangar. Plus if an FBO has any tailwheel tires/tubes, they have that one. You will need to fab an adapter plate to adapt the Russian tailwheel spring to the Scott bolt pattern. I will be out at my hangar on Monday (unfortunately have to work tomorrow, and didn't get this until afte I came back for today...) and will shoot you a couple of pictures. It is appears to be a pretty straightforward machining job, so it shouldn't be a big deal to find a shop that can do it. Good luck, Scott Poehlmann Yak 55M N155YK Yak 55M wrote: > Has anyone had experience installing a Scott tailwheel on a Yak 55M? > If so, is there any special fabrication I need to be aware of? > > Thanks, > > Anthony. > * > > > * ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:28 PM PST US From: Herb Coussons Subject: Re: Yak-List: Scott Taliwheel for Yak 55M If you could copy me on the pictures also.
