Mark Jensen started the topic Parts in the forum Meyers 200 4 years, 1 month ago
I sold 2983T in June but still plan to drive to the Fly In at Fredricksburg. I plan to bring a few rare 200 parts for the auction. They include two landing light lenses, a pair of door hinges, and a set of landing gear torque links. The money from these parts will go to the Meyers Aircraft owners association.

Steve-have you looked for a Micco? Might be easier to find than a 145. I know of one here in NC.

Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Actuator Seals in the forum Hydraulic System – Meyers 200 4 years, 1 month ago
Gary,
The high pressure seal double seal I mentioned above is actually called an O-ring loaded U-cup seal. It is a harder rubber up with a softer O-ring inserted to push the cup against the shaft. The McMaster part number is 9505K15. I believe this is the seal that was in my flap selector and gear valves, but the harder rubber cup was…[Read more]

Gary,
I am currently on vacation and won’t be at my hangar until Labor Day weekend. I sent Robert Whitfield a complete set of seals, so he should have the part numbers. All are common O-rings available thru Aircraft Spruce, except the internal gear handle valve and flap selector valve. I found a compatible seal at McMaster Carr that is working f…[Read more] -

Gary-my step spit the bit again last year when it was in annual! If your A&P is pretty resourceful, I suggest you pull the step and get into the guts and look at the O rings. They are all in stock, you just need to make sure you source the right diameter. It might take some trial and error as I found out last year getting in his way…

Ted-I agree with you assessment on price but as an owner I hope he gets it or close thereto! Pricing is crazy right now. I am seeing early 70’s Skylanes with 8K+ hours airframe selling for $150k PLUS!!

Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Landing Gear strut seals in the forum General- Meyers 200 4 years, 3 months ago
Ed,
I’ve been told they may be rechromed without creating any issues. Please contact Ross Warner to see about finding new old stock parts. He may be able to point you to someone who knows where to find them if you decide to go that route.
VR, Tom

Tom-I am getting some pitting on my main gear struts. Are there replacements parts or can they be rechromed?

Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Meyers 200 Gear Failure in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 4 years, 3 months ago
Ray,
So very happy to hear the damage was minimal given your scenario. Thank you for the additional information. I’m guessing the strut extended slightly once the gear was in the well to force the tire against the bail and cause it to bind. A very unusual situation to be certain.
You did an excellent 2 wheel landing and had a great outcome.…[Read more]

Mark Jensen replied to the topic Meyers 200 Gear Failure in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 4 years, 3 months ago
Sorry to hear about your gear problem. My partner and I had a nose gear up landing which I also attributed to a problem with the strut. We bought the aircraft after an estate settlement and then had it down for about a year replacing the interior and glass. Because it sat for (?) years, it was difficult to service the strut to the proper…[Read more]

Tom,
Thanks for your valuable input and info. Dean is correct, I had a low strut and was flying from FD51 to KMTH to have it serviced (A short ~ 5 min. flight). If I had the wisdom of other, more seasoned Meyers owners, I would have made the flight with the gear down.

One additional tidbit…
A broken gear handle Uplock cable will be apparent because without the Uplock released, the gear UP red light will stay illuminated. Basically one red, two green would indicate the Uplock did not release on the gear indicating red. Instead of trying to find which cable to pull, raise the gear by putting the gear handle i…[Read more]

Ray,
So sorry to hear about your gear extension issues with 489C. As you are aware (but others may not be), your aircraft has a different gear indicating system than other M200s. 489C has a transit lights, where stock aircraft have UP (red) and DOWN (green) lights.
The Gear system of the M200 is quite simple: an engine driven hydraulic pump…[Read more]

The issue is rather constant. Injector and line is clear. Baffling is in good condition, but #6 is in a bad spot. Taped the oil fill door. No effect. I will post some pictures.
Did some cross-country (10h in 3 days) in 90° weather because ofhttps://m.facebook.com/groups/stampesv4/
Thanks for the input.
