RE: WACO YMF
Jim,
Most of the external parts of the tail wheel are the same; i.e. The yoke. On SRE NC 20961 there is a fitting on the lower forward part of the main tail wheel post not seen on the YKS tail wheel. The rear attachment point of the spring to the main post is also slightly different.
SRE NC 58785 has a fairing that covers all but the yoke. The News ARE, NC 20953 does not have the fairing
