Hi John B, My Yak 55M has the original Russian Tailwheel. I can still get the correct tire and tube for it. It works just fine. I would never change it. Not sure if that applies to yours. Have you lost the Russian hub? I have seen a lot of Yak 55Ms with the Scott tailwheel conversion. The Scott tailwheel changes the on ground attitude to a slightly less inclined position. That means a faster landing speed in a 3 point attitude. Alternative, it means landing tailwheel first with a rapid transfer to mains =93 a less smooth return to mother earth.

Does anyone have a source for the appropriate pneumatic tailwheel for the original Russian Yak 55 tailwheel yoke? Is a new axle required? Spacers? Has anyone used a Beringer tailwheel?
