I would encourage you and others who may have items to sell to list them here and indeed request replies to be off List directly to seller.

They have powered draggers as well as manual. The powered version came since I converted my dragger handle so that it would work with my power tow tug. The unit lifts the tail wheel off the ground as well as keeps the fork facing aft not rotated 180 deg facing forward when pushing the plane into the hanger. The risk of over centering the tail wheel strut comes with pushing the plane into the hanger over the hanger door tract and the concrete flooring lip. Also the risk to the tail wheel strut comes from leaving the tail wheel fork facing forward when stored in the hanger. If the pressure in the shock absorber is low the tail wheel strut will over center. I always jack the tail of my 50 up when it is going to sit for a while to take the weight off of the tail wheel. That is not a big deal for me currently since my 50's empennage is resting on a cradle just aft of the cockpit to level the aircraft for instillation of the engine. :^)) No pressure on the tail wheel that way.

I personally consider it a weak point and I already had a lot of trouble with it. So I'm not so sure whether it's a good idea to move the 50 by dragging her on the tailwheel. But maybe I misunderstand this, can you show some pictures? I'm very interested.

I have the 5 gal with smoke on both stacks and it is never enough. By never enough, if I had an hour worth of smoke it still would not be enough but every minute counts. You haven't lived until climbing up to 10k and drawing a smiley face! Word on the install, make sure the fill line is as straight as possible, I have a bend in mine and it is difficult to fill as air can't escape unless I open the tank lid.

I've dismounted the oleo and the whole tailwheel several times, and I conclude that it's not a very strong structure (on purpose ?). That's why I'm a bit worried when the whole Yak 50 is pushed, pulled on that tailwheel structure. It seems that your modification deals with that, and I would appreciate it if you'd send a picture of it, occasionally? I also used to have my 50 with the tailwheel lifted in the hangar to diminish the pressure in the oleo (supporting the tail on the "eye" behind the wheel) but in my case it did not prevent the oleo from loosing pressure anyway, until I had it overhauled.

They have powered draggers as well as manual. The powered version came since I converted my dragger handle so that it would work with my power tow tug. The unit lifts the tail wheel off the ground as well as keeps the fork facing aft not rotated 180 deg facing forward when pushing the plane into the hanger. The risk of over centering the tail wheel strut comes with pushing the plane into the hanger over the hanger door tract and the concrete flooring lip. Also the risk to the tail wheel strut comes from leaving the tail wheel fork facing forward when stored in the hanger. If the pressure in the shock absorber is low the tail wheel strut will over center. I always jack the tail of my 50 up when it is going to sit for a while to take the weight off of the tail wheel. That is not a big deal for me currently since my 50's empennage is resting on a cradle just aft of the cockpit to level the aircraft for instillation of the engine. :^)) No pressure on the tail wheel that way.

I personally consider it a weak point and I already had a lot of trouble with it. So I'm not so sure whether it's a good idea to move the 50 by dragging her on the tailwheel. But maybe I misunderstand this, can you show some pictures? I'm very interested.
