    Ashley Wade replied to the topic 200 Air Oil Separator (AOS) FINALLY!!!!! in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 6 years, 1 month ago

    Hello Ed and Chris. The install looks great, but there is some type of issue. 5 hour flight to OSH this year deposited a whole quart on the belly. With the prior configuration of the little Garwin AOS coming off of the wet vane vacuum pump I would have had negligible oil loss, but was still really messy. This new configuration is way worse.…[Read more]

    Ashley Wade replied to the topic Avionics Upgrade in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, personal message to either Ross Warner who is our fearless leader (President, Owners Assoc), Mark Young who is our almost fearless leader (VP of Owners Assoc) or Kent Atchison fearless spender with world’s most expensive Meyers. All three have complete glass panels. No fear of non retro among this group.

    Hello Dan. Sorry, I’ve not logged on in a while. Still recovering from all of the fun with the Meyers group at Osh a few weeks ago. You can email me questions (ashleybryabwade@icloud.com) about the trim system or I’ll keep an eye out here for any new posts. I have an A model with the hydraulic trim. EXTREMELY effective if the system is properly…[Read more]

    Hello Trevor,

    I am a 200 guy and just going with Jim Jones to pick up my wife’s “new” OTW next week. Here is a current email address for Jim. Bet he can help you.

    Ashley Wade replied to the topic 200 Air Oil Separator (AOS) FINALLY!!!!! in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 6 years, 4 months ago

    Hello Greg, “mist” I can handle. Drips from belly strobe and tail tie down I can’t. My usage is not bad at all and motor has only about 100 hours after full Lycon rebuild. She drooled before rebuild, unfortunately she drools after.

    I have the originallittle Garwin AOS off of my wet vane vacuum already. Now with the AirWolf AOS in tandem like…[Read more]

    Ashley Wade started the topic 200 Air Oil Separator (AOS) FINALLY!!!!! in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 6 years, 4 months ago

    After 5 years of Meyers 200 ownership I’m finally going to have a clean belly. Mine AND the plane’s because every time I crawl under hers mine gets oily too. Thought the new Lycon engine would fix it. Nope. Nelson Harding and Steve Bauman had helped me with my quest (thanks guys!) and had gotten me 337’s for their birds and Mark Young’s (the…[Read more]

    Ashley Wade replied to the topic TruTrak Autopilot for Meyers 200 in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 7 years, 1 month ago

    Count me in too, Dean. Same payment plan as Mr. Young. I’d pay NOW for one to get it later if it helps prime the pump. I think that Pruitt, Atchison and Secord would also be in. Perhaps send a personal message to them.

    Ashley Wade started the topic Fueling up at AirVenture made easy in the forum Landing Gear – Meyers 200 7 years, 1 month ago

    Basler flight services will be providing their regular fueling services with one added twist this year. Automatic payment. Instead of having to walk to a booth and pay for your fuel you can put a card in online and it will email you the receipt for your fuel automatically. Saves time and legs. The fuels request is made by getting a propeller…[Read more]

    Did you ever find this Ken? While looking for something in my docs for how my lock was replaced. Let me know if you’d like a scanned copy.

    Ashley Wade replied to the topic Air Venture Cup race in the forum M200-header 7 years, 5 months ago

    I found out very quickly that it is not Jamon Pruitt, it is Jam-On Pruitt because that’s what he did… jammed on the red, blue and black knobs to the panel and left them there. What an awesome ride. Still smiling. He even let me hold his first place trophy for a little while. It did take about a week to pick the splinters from my backside f…[Read more]

    Ashley Wade started the topic Rotating Beacon on a Meyers 200 in the forum Meyers 200 7 years, 6 months ago

    Here is an interesting article from the AOPA newsletter. It was buried way at the bottom and you may have missed it. They are questioning a go/no go with an inoperative rotating beacon; even if strobe is operational and came up with a no go decision. My beacon is GONE. Removed decades ago. In fact, I’ve not seen too many of our planes at the…[Read more]

    Hello Mark. Just saw your post from TWO YEARS AGO. Sorry. we move slower here in LA than you guys do in CA. Ever figure out what that was? I frequently have to change out my stater (not battery master) solenoid at $100 a pop from Aircraft Spruce. Your theory about it being a capacitor makes sense. Spruce has what looks like a little diode…[Read more]

    Well Dan, you just cost me a bunch of money. I’d seen your original post back in 2016 and thought to myself that if Cee Bailey ever started production on the windows again that I would jump on them. Mine are in good, but not perfect…[Read more]
