I am sorry to be pedantic - but there is no  such thing as the 18R.  The history is briefly:

  

    Yak-18 first flew in 1945, with 160hp    5-cylinder engine.      
Yak-18U - nose wheel version in production    54 - 57.    
Yak-18A - was transformed by having the    260hp 9-cylinder, and still with nose wheel.  Produced from 57 -    61.     
Yak-18P - was a single seat version of the    18A, flown from the front seat.   A few only were built in    1959.   They also had a new undercarriage, with inward    retraction.   Production later increased, and in 61 - 62 125    aircraft were built.    
Yak-18PM - was a further modification of    1965, with a 300hp engine, and flown from the rear cockpit.   The PM    dominated the 1966 World Championship, and 25 aircraft were built between    70 and 71.    
Yak-18PS - was a lightweight PM, with the    original Yak-18 undercarriage (like a Yak-50), and this competed in the 70 and    72 World Championships.   It looks very similar to a Yak-50.        
Finally the Yak-18T is somewhat of a    misnomer, since it has nothing in common with the earlier 18's.   
Sadly, the vast majority of these aircraft were    destroyed by the Russians  Richard Goode Aerobatics

Richard,

  

 What was the number of the Yak that had a 4 or 6 place cabin that was  sometimes used for air ambulance?

Richard,



I will accept your apology when you tell me what the hell "pedantic" means.

The 4-seater tail-dragger,with  high-wing is the Yak-12.

 The tricycle low-wing 4/6 seater is  the 18T.
