On my Yak-55, one of the stops that prevents the tail wheel from swiveling broke off.



Obviously I need to repair it.



Any suggestions?



Thanks...............Flightbag

Replace it with a Scott 3200.



You can get a local machine shop to make an adapter plate that will fit 

onto the tailwheel spring and then just bolt it right on. I have such a 

tailwheel on my 55 and it great. Easier to push the plane around, easier 

to get replacement tires/parts. Next time I am out at the hangar (today 

PM? Tomorrow?) I'll shoot a photo of the adapter plate and sent it to 

you off list.

Is there a worry of excessive aft CG for some spin recoveries?

Not at all. The adapter plate weighs perhaps 500 gm, and the whole 

Scott tailwheel assembly weighs either the same or perhaps a bit less 

than the original Russian one. The net effect on w/b is negligible. I 

have more than 450 hours of Advanced category acro (inverted spins, lots 

of snaps, etc) in my 55 and it spins and snaps (and recovers) 

beautifully. AND, I can push my airplane backwards if need be...<VBG>

If you don't mind, I would like to have a photo of the adapter also. 



Thanks.

Flightbag,



Contact Wesley Warner via warner.wesley(at)gmail.com for info about a very nicely machined Scott tailwheel housing machined just for the 55 spring.
