Ed Pulliam replied to the topic Short Field Performance in the forum General- Meyers 200 2 years, 6 months ago
I would fly with the F33 guy and watch his technique. Meyers has less wing area (at least I think it does), but engine and airframe configuration are very similar. For sure see his weight limitations. At gross the Meyers will sink unless you have power in and the flare happens quickly.

Ed Pulliam replied to the topic Short Field Performance in the forum General- Meyers 200 2 years, 6 months ago
Ed, a very good ask. What are your typical winds and how is the turf? My experience (and there are many folks here with much more than mine) is that short field can be tricky as you almost have to get behind the power curve to drop a 200 in. Full flaps and 90 MPH means a fair amount of power as you come down to short final to keep the sink rate…[Read more]

Finally received a legitimate sign off from the FAA for the three bladed prop on Carl Richards N200D after six months of digging through the paperwork had to add a flight manual supplement for the IO 520A and nose bowl conversion, but the Form337 with field approval is complete. My research showed that way back when his conversion was done the…[Read more]

Ed Pulliam started the topic Seats in the forum Interiors – Meyers 200 2 years, 7 months ago
All-I bit the bullet and replaced the seats in 196M as I know Nelson and Dan have done. I went further though and also replaced the back seats. My A&P took it to the next level and hired a DER to write the report and submit to Oklahoma City. The DER report basically is a STC that is unique to 196M. I found a set of Bonanza seats and hardware…[Read more]

Ed Pulliam started the topic Engine oil leaks in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 2 years, 7 months ago
Gents, 196M just came out of annual after being AOG for over 3 months. It started with an oil leak that was getting worse and I finally grounded her in late June as the annual was due as of July 1. Dean S. and I have been e-mailing back and forth but I thought I would share the experience to the wider group. I also replaced the seats and will…[Read more]

Gary-my step spit the bit again last year when it was in annual! If your A&P is pretty resourceful, I suggest you pull the step and get into the guts and look at the O rings. They are all in stock, you just need to make sure you source the right diameter. It might take some trial and error as I found out last year getting in his way…

Ted-I agree with you assessment on price but as an owner I hope he gets it or close thereto! Pricing is crazy right now. I am seeing early 70’s Skylanes with 8K+ hours airframe selling for $150k PLUS!!

Ed Pulliam replied to the topic High CHT #6 in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 2 years, 10 months ago
Thomas-If the baffling is tight and no other obstructions are there you might check the fuel injector for that cylinder. Might be clogged? If it is clean, I would borescope to make sure nothing is going on with the exhaust valve.
Let us know what you find. I normally see on hottest days CHT’s at 380 or so as you referenced.

Ed Pulliam replied to the topic News – Announcement in the forum Meyers 200 3 years ago
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]

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]

Ed Pulliam replied to the topic News – Announcement in the forum Meyers 200 3 years, 1 month ago
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] -
