Dean,

Where is TruTrak with regard to the M200 STC? They seem to be focused on the larger market share aircraft. I’m guessing the A36, V35, M20, and C210 will precede the M200 … It’s been over a year since they started this discussion and has any progress been made? Options to the older Century systems that can interface with the newer Gar…[Read more]

You must not be getting my emails. Or, my emails are going into your spam folder. I shared all of their emails. My email address is my first and last name (as one word) at gmail.

The early Aero Commander 200D’s were essentially built by Meyers and have their original hydraulic aileron trim system. It’s complicated but Meyers built owners have solutions for maintaining them. Talk to Neslon Harding, Dave Smith or Ashley Wade about it. I’m sure they’ll have the answers you need.

OK… I’ve investigated PCA’s big avionics shop and “discovered” the Garmin G3x. Oh oh! Now my upgrade bill just hit the ozone, and I am really torn. Anybody done some drastic big PFD upgrade to their entire instrument panels? I may go that route if I can find some more $$. Seeking any thoughts, and many thanks again, for those of you that…[Read more]

Thanks for the help Ed! My IA says that 2 of the 8 bushings were eccentric, and installed on the same flap … didn’t make sense to him.

Ashley – has your install helped as you expected? I hope you can add some pics like Ed asked, and anxiously await some more details about the mod. Chris

Does anyone have input about digital panel upgrades? STC’s, 337 troubles? I’ve seen pictures with nice digital instrument panels, how’d you do it? Thanks

Hi Everyone. It looks like a good hit for the TruTrak A/P for us. 7 in just the first few months and I’ll bet at least another 10 – 20 more if we could get the word out to those that aren’t routinely on this site.
I wonder about the status, Dean, have you any information? Many folks are redoing panels these days due to the ADSB requirements,…[Read more]

Hi Greg,

I did show my 200D to a interested person who is 6″6″ and I also fly with a neighbor who is 6″4″. neither had any problem with head or shoulder room. However, the first person had long legs which put his knees at the bottom of the yoke with the seat adjusted full back. I believe some owners have replaced their seats which, if coupled…[Read more]
