This is funny, Stefano’s description describes me almost to a T. Except I live in Huntsville. Joseph, do you think I could take you up on that offer? I’m itching to see a Meyers 200 up close.

Ashley-you make good points. G5 and/or 275 upgrades would be a good thing. I redid my panel several years back but kept mostly legacy round gauges with a JPI 830 and GNS 430W as main nav/com with a Aera 660 as a panel mount MFD and KI155 as back up No 2. It’s amazing how much the legacy engine et al gauges take up on the right side of the…[Read more]

Thomas-you stated what I was thinking. The question is how much he would charge each of us for the STC. I will tell you that a $40K A/P install does not work for me. I would love the upgrade but at that number I will just keep my Century III in as good a condition as I can. And I get it that Stein is learning as he goes and that hopefully that…[Read more]

Happy Eastertime from Germany!

I wonder of we can group up to have SteinAir go for an STC.
If there is an STC, we would have less trouble getting this great AP into our planes. For me in Germany, as an EASA reg, 337s do not work.

And going back to N-Reg would terminate the world spanning Meyers distribution.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thomas.

Chuck-a friend of mine just purchased a Micco and I had a chance to sit in the right seat. It was very roomy and felt very comfortable. I am 5’8″ and weigh 170.

Hi Dean, I am interested.

Mark Jensen

Thank you Mark. Great feedback.

Ed

A quick follow-up to this post.

This installation is a first example, and it took stein a fair amount of work with his FSDO to get it approved.

The best approach to discussing this option is to call stein directly and talk about the upgrade and the excellent engineering relationship he has with his FSDO. This is a great opportunity to put a…[Read more]

Peter-thank you for the detailed feedback. So I am assuming SteinAir would do another install and run it through the FSDO again?

Ed

Peter,

Thanks for that. For some reason I hadn’t thought to have the “main” tanks act as the location for the lower amount of fuel. That makes loading much more workable for me in this type.

Peter, that is very encouraging and thank you for sharing. A few questions for you:

1. Did you replace an existing A/P or was this a brand new installation?
2. If the former, what did you replace?
3. And if the former, did you reuse existing servos or go all new?
4. Did you have to get an engineer involved on paperwork for submission to the…[Read more]

Pretty funny Kevin! I bet most of us have some quarantine lbs!

Good luck on the hunt. Dean is the go to here.

Ed, thanks for the detailed reply. I think I’ll have to do the same and fly with ballast in the luggage compartment. I should probably also lost my quarantine weight, that might help as well. My wife and I average out to two FAA average adults, I should probably work on making myself an FAA average adult too.

Safe and happy flying.

Kevin-welcome to the Meyers team! I do the vast majority of my flying solo. These are great 2 person plus a lot of luggage and full fuel airplanes. My useful load is about 900#. With fuel fuel, that leaves 420# for pilot and pax plus luggage. I weigh 170 and my wife 130 so we have 120# left to be legal. Alternatively, put 60 gallons of fuel…[Read more]
