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]

Hello Thomas and Ed. I will check with Stein and get his thoughts. He still needs to get me an official quote so that I can send him some $ and save on some taxes leaving poor Joe Biden out in the cold. I’ll be happy to share the quote with anyone who needs it. Wish this site supported uploads of photos and .PDFs so that we could all share.…[Read more]

Thomas-you stated what I was thinking. The question is how much he would charge each of us for the STC. I will tell you that a $40K A/P install does not work for me. I would love the upgrade but at that number I will just keep my Century III in as good a condition as I can. And I get it that Stein is learning as he goes and that hopefully that…[Read more]

Happy Eastertime from Germany!

I wonder of we can group up to have SteinAir go for an STC.
If there is an STC, we would have less trouble getting this great AP into our planes. For me in Germany, as an EASA reg, 337s do not work.

And going back to N-Reg would terminate the world spanning Meyers distribution.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thomas.

Chuck-a friend of mine just purchased a Micco and I had a chance to sit in the right seat. It was very roomy and felt very comfortable. I am 5’8″ and weigh 170.

Hi Dean, I am interested.

Mark Jensen

A quick follow up to Mark’s quick follow up post…

Peter, welcome to Meyers. You’ve been active on the forum for only a month and have already bagged a unicorn. Holy $#!+ !!! Your new Meyers family has been agonizing over how to achieve what you have done for years. If you do a search you will see the many different posts of false starts on how…[Read more]

Thank you Mark. Great feedback.

Ed

A quick follow-up to this post.

This installation is a first example, and it took stein a fair amount of work with his FSDO to get it approved.

The best approach to discussing this option is to call stein directly and talk about the upgrade and the excellent engineering relationship he has with his FSDO. This is a great opportunity to put a…[Read more]

Peter-thank you for the detailed feedback. So I am assuming SteinAir would do another install and run it through the FSDO again?

Ed

Peter, that is very encouraging and thank you for sharing. A few questions for you:

1. Did you replace an existing A/P or was this a brand new installation?
2. If the former, what did you replace?
3. And if the former, did you reuse existing servos or go all new?
4. Did you have to get an engineer involved on paperwork for submission to the…[Read more]

Pretty funny Kevin! I bet most of us have some quarantine lbs!

Good luck on the hunt. Dean is the go to here.

Kevin-welcome to the Meyers team! I do the vast majority of my flying solo. These are great 2 person plus a lot of luggage and full fuel airplanes. My useful load is about 900#. With fuel fuel, that leaves 420# for pilot and pax plus luggage. I weigh 170 and my wife 130 so we have 120# left to be legal. Alternatively, put 60 gallons of fuel…[Read more]

Ted-I just some more digging on the FAA Registry, etc. In fact it says it is a ‘M200’

Great question. I have said on many occasions I was ‘an M200C’ and they then start calling me a Mooney. I asked a controller once and he said they did not have a Meyers in the manufacturer list as I recall.

I think if you tell them you are a Commander 200 that will work.

Others??

I am near Raleigh NC. I know there are a couple of guys in the NE who own 200’s. Dean Siracusa may be able to put you in touch.

Stefano-shame on some of us for not responding sooner! Where do you leave so we can coordinate an opportunity to see a 200 up close?

Ed

Gents-I had my mount on my 200C overhauled by Steve Loree at Loree Air in Diamond Springs CA. The 8130 Release references the mount as part number 67R003. The serial number is L3159A.
