Hello Greg,

Dave Smith is nearly your height and drives a chop top A model. Fits great. I don’t know if he did anything to the seat rails. He doesn’t do too much computer stuff, so contact him offline at davesf17@yahoo.com.

Take Mark Jensen up on his offer to sit in his plane. It’s gorgeous and for sale. Just be advised that if you sit in…[Read more]

Perhaps Kenny Oliver with Global Parts could help you out? Global is the type certificate holder and he has many of the drawings electronically recreated into CAD system.

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]

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]

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. All the others are normal roller type bushings, so he’s in a quandry. So am I, I guess I will have to try and find one of the experts in the field to shed some light for us…

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]
