We found a ‚replacement‘ and could help out if someone wants some spare.

Sorry, I meant GAMI fuel injectors.
Mark Jensen replied to the topic Meyers performance in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 7 years, 10 months ago

My 200 has a IO 520 engine. I normally cruise with fuel setting LOP. I have a EDM 700 installed so I can see exactly when I reach peak and GAMI plugs installed so all cylinders peak close to the same tempratures. I think this equipment is important for lean of peak operation. I continue to adjust lean of peak until I fell rougness in the…[Read more]

I have a 520a.
Here in Germany 100LL is about 8$/gal, so we try to run LOP.

With my very limited experience with my plane I just did 1 longer trip of 3hr 45 min to France. In FL 85 she took 12,5 gal/h for 140kn GS. Therhe must be some improvement.

When she is back from the shop I will go for max speed ROP, Christmas is coming…

Any more…[Read more]

Question from a newbie: How do you run your engine to get

a) The best speed(max power) in low and high altitude?
b) the best economy (ROP or LOP)

Doe someone have a scheme for power setting in different altitudes like some other types of POH provide or do you go by CHT and EGT.

What are you racers seeing on fuel burn on a typical race.

Richard E Russell replied to the topic Reasonable Crosswind Limitations for an OTW on pavement? in the forum Airframe – Meyers OTW 7 years, 11 months ago

All: Regarding OTW landings, grass, hard surface runways and crosswinds – FAA certification of Part 23 (OTW were certified under CAR 4, the previous certification standard before FAR Part 23) is 15 mph ‘demonstrated cross wind’. Factory test pilots are required to certify all Part 23 airplanes to 15 mph crosswinds, therefore, it then depends upon…[Read more]

Thomas Kube replied to the topic Introduction and advice needed in the forum General- Meyers 200 7 years, 11 months ago

Hi,

I am in Florida at the moment an thinking about essentials for the Meyers to take home.
I asked globalparts to offer a set of landing gear bushings.
What else do you recommend to have in the parts-box?

Thanks,

Thomas
