We would have to ask Jim Jones the exact date, but I believe that is about the age that Captain Chuck Downey stopped flying my wife’s plane N26487 “Fly Navy”. She and I are both in our early 60s and I pray that we can keep going as long and strong as you and the Captain did!

I would love to help you sell her to a good home. I won’t be back to…[Read more]

Good morning Chris,

Huge apologies for tardy response. Life has been crazy. Got your post while I was on the road and needed to get the invoice for you. Then I impulse bought an R44 and set a check ride. Long story.

Please text and I’ll send the invoice. Total came to $37,860 with dual GI 275s. Install portion was $16,000 of that.

Please c…[Read more]

Awesome, John! Please contact Jamon Pruitt. He’d love to hear about this. jamonpruitt1@cox.net

Hello Doug. You might try Michael Barg. uh1dorgunner@gmail.com

Hello Gary. I just saw your post about your OTW. So sorry to hear about your medical!

My wife owns serial number 40, N26487. We keep her at KUXL in Louisiana, but will be moving her to our place in AZ south of you near Eloy, E60.

Would love to talk with you about getting your medical back and keeping her, but if that’s not possible then p…[Read more]

Hello Thomas,

Jamon Pruitt just had his overhauled and might be a good resource for how that went.

Rocky! Hello sir. Karen and I thought that it was great getting to know you at the fly in. Looking forward to many fly outs from the fly ins with yo in the future.

For your assembly, please email Mr. Dave Smith. davesf17@yahoo.com

Hello Paul. sorry for the delayed response. Been busy selling my company. I use the AC Air Technology remote control tracked tug. Works on concrete or on grass. Coolest thing ever. We have multiple planes and it moves all of them with no adjustment and it’s actually fun to reshuffle the hangar. Can hands free grab the Meyers 200, stuff it…[Read more]

Hello Ed. My plane came with an Air Wolf Oil Filter Adapter when I bought her. 7 years of trouble free / Leak free service. I later purchased an Air Wolf AOS and the folks there were very helpful.

Greetings Scott. I would suggest an email to our own 200 parts guru Mr. Dave Smith at davesf17@yahoo.com.

Hello Steve. Please contact Dr. Jamon Pruitt. He’s a current 145 owner as well as 200 owner. He did a great job of upgrading his 145 and can tell you about parts availability. If you talk nice to him he might even part with his gorgeous 145…

Hello Joseph. Perhaps member Dave Smith could help you out. He has many NOS parts. Contact him at davesf17@yahoo.com ,

Hello Thomas. There are so few of us that I doubt that anyone will do an STC, but the 337 process is moving along nicely after Peter. 2 more 200’s are currently being upgraded at Stein Air as I type. I am in line right behind them and hope to have her back with a shiny new GFC500 and twin GI275s for Christmas.

Jim Jones and Mike Barg at the Meyers OTW repair Center in South Carolina can help. You can reach them on the site by searching in the members directory. We’ll all be at the fly in next month in Fredericksburg, TX next month and that would be your very best bet. There are 5 OTWs in planned attendance. As long as your Kinner parts don’t have…[Read more]

Joseph, I do same as you and say ICAO Mike two zero zero. But I would NEVER say similar to a Bonanza! Almost as bad as saying similar to a Cirrus! Yuk!

On long cross countries switching service areas ATC does morph me into a Mooney as per Ed on occasion. I do take exception with THAT as well, but just motor on along and respond back with…[Read more]

Anyone interested in an autopilot needs to view the thread by Mr. Peter Jensen titled “News Update”.

Stein Air is installing Garmin GFC500s into Meyers 200s. Details on the other post.

Hello Chuck. The 145 is such a cool airplane. You need to send a note to Jamon Pruitt that is a member on the site. Jamon has a bunch of planes including a 145 and a 200. His 145 is listed for sale here on the site in the classifieds. I’ve seen her in person and she’s beautiful. Like most of us, Jamon is an aviation nut. Give him a call and…[Read more]
