Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Elevator trim control cable in the forum Flight Controls – Meyers 200 2 years, 1 month ago
Did the cable break or is it just bound up? If it’s bound up, the process is to remove it, hang it up from the ceiling and pour Kroil penetrating oil into it, until it’s leaking out the bottom. Let it stay there for several days before reinstalling.
Also, regular checking of the elevator trim prior to each flight will also help keep it unb…[Read more]

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic F&M Oil Filter adapter in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 2 years, 1 month ago
Yes, the Airwolf is mounted on the firewall. I’ve heard good things about it. My only concern is a hose failure would be catastrophic.
With regards to the F&M (now owned by Tempest), I used one on my IO-520 for years. The only time I had an issue is when a new mechanic would not understand the requirements.
First is that each time the a…[Read more]

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic IFR GPS in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 2 years, 1 month ago
I’d definitely pick the Garmin over the King. The KLN 94 is old, clunky and slow compared to the newer Garmin 175.
Also, figure that any of these companies will likely only support their GPS products for 10 years or less after production ends. Production on the KLN 94 has been out of production for a while now, so the clock is ticking. And, t…[Read more]

Did they get lost or break? We lost the ball we had, ordered an entire bag of them! I don’t have the spring though.

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic *PAN PAN* Garmin GFC500 Available in Meyers 200! *PAN PAN* in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 2 years, 3 months ago
The Meyers 200 does have electric trim available as an option when installing the Century autopilots such as the 2000. And, it’s been installed in the latest Garmin installation just last month.
Peter, your plane originally had the Brittain autopilot correct? The Century A/P is a very different installation since its servos are electric instead…[Read more]

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic *PAN PAN* Garmin GFC500 Available in Meyers 200! *PAN PAN* in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 2 years, 3 months ago
The challenge of any other avionics shop doing this is their local FSDO approving it. Stein is a very large and professional avionics shop that goes above and beyond when doing avionics installations. This includes full wiring diagrams, so other places can do repairs or upgrades far easier. This is just one of the reasons why they’re able to get…[Read more]

Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Actuator Seals in the forum Hydraulic System – Meyers 200 2 years, 8 months ago
Gary,
The high pressure seal double seal I mentioned above is actually called an O-ring loaded U-cup seal. It is a harder rubber up with a softer O-ring inserted to push the cup against the shaft. The McMaster part number is 9505K15. I believe this is the seal that was in my flap selector and gear valves, but the harder rubber cup was…[Read more]

1 each 1161N52-204 . (They also have a reinforced high pressure double O-ring type seal, but it is a harder…[Read more] -
Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Actuator Seals in the forum Hydraulic System – Meyers 200 2 years, 8 months ago
Gary,
I am currently on vacation and won’t be at my hangar until Labor Day weekend. I sent Robert Whitfield a complete set of seals, so he should have the part numbers. All are common O-rings available thru Aircraft Spruce, except the internal gear handle valve and flap selector valve. I found a compatible seal at McMaster Carr that is working f…[Read more] -
Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Currency of sale listings? in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 2 years, 8 months ago
Some other owners contacted me and said my response was not as friendly as it should have been. My apologies.
Which airplane on the For Sale site is sold?

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Currency of sale listings? in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 2 years, 8 months ago
Which one are you saying that’s from 2019 and isn’t currently owned by them anymore?
The listings are only as good as the people posting them. If the owner doesn’t let us know that it’s sold, it’ll just remain there.
Remember, this isn’t some big fancy company with many employees. It’s a small group of owners of a very small population of aircraft.

Ed,
I’ve been told they may be rechromed without creating any issues. Please contact Ross Warner to see about finding new old stock parts. He may be able to point you to someone who knows where to find them if you decide to go that route.
VR, Tom
