Hi James, I am an old F4 guy myself and I mean old. I have owned my 200D sense Sept 2001. So far I have not had a problem with parts. Many parts are common to other aircraft of that vintage and there is a source for parts that are unique to the 200s from stocks that were acumulated by an idividual who specialized in Meyers. Other parts can…[Read more]

Update: While looking through the paper documents for the Annual I found a spare set of keys.

Had our local locksmith (Mr. Minit) make new ones ( 3 sets). He immediately identified them as airplane keys. Had to order them from Italy…

James-you are in luck. I am based at KLHZ and own a 1964C Model. I would be delighted to meet with you, fly, and answer any questions that I can.

Let me know and I can send a PM.

I had N430DP’s engine mount repaired in 2 places by a welder in Brighton, MI. He is a certified FAA welder working for Delta. He was able to blast, inspect, repair, and paint in his shop. Turned out wonderful.

I’m interested. Please add me. Thanks Dean.

I have not dared without a plan for a fix.

Hoping someone had done this before…

Robert,
To clarify, each strut requires 3 seals as listed. If you are able to disassemble one strut, you can verify the dimensions prior to ordering.
