Congratulations Brent and welcome to the family! I wish that you’d been able to make it to the annual fly in which was held in Sedona, especially since you were in Phoenix. My wife and I didn’t make it due to damages to both planes (a 200 A model and a Meyers OTW) by Hurricane Laura. Next year you will be able to fly back in to Fredricksburg…[Read more]

Welcome Doug!

As you may have noticed, we are passionate about our planes and enjoy the time we are able to put into preserving the fleet. Several have been upgraded to the IO-550, which is an amazing enhancement to the original design. Others have spent substantial resources on upgrading their avionics to make these fast cross country machines…[Read more]

Hi Doug, I fly N34386 a 1961 200B with a Lycon IO-550. I personally like the lower cabin height of the A/B models but we don’t have the flush riveted wing.

Hi Brent, welcome to the family. A family that rarely sells their airplane – once you get a Meyers, you won’t want to go back! BTW, which one did you acquire?

That is very well written advice given by Ed Pulliam, and covers most everything that you’ll encounter. I will add a couple points here that either bit me or was mentioned to me by…[Read more]

Mark, I normally just keep fuel in my inboard tanks for local flights and my thermos style caps get loose on the empty tanks. I soak them in a small container of 100LL overnight and the rubber on the caps tend to swell up. You can try it but you might need to tighten them also.

Hi Mark. I have most all the decals required for the 200 including what you need. I’m bringing samples to the fly-in but could mail anything you need. Call me at 269-369-1052 Ross Warner
