Chris Blaine replied to the topic IFR GPS in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 3 years, 3 months ago

Hi Dennis, I recently flew a friend’s c310 with IFD540/440 and really liked them. They seem much more user friendly and so simple to operate. I was ready to jump on them when he had an issue and the avionics shop had to send his 540 back to FL somewhere. He waited many weeks for the repair and it was not inexpensive. SEA is a giant aviation…[Read more]

Ashley Wade replied to the topic Towing in the forum General- Meyers 200 3 years, 5 months ago

Hello Paul. sorry for the delayed response. Been busy selling my company. I use the AC Air Technology remote control tracked tug. Works on concrete or on grass. Coolest thing ever. We have multiple planes and it moves all of them with no adjustment and it’s actually fun to reshuffle the hangar. Can hands free grab the Meyers 200, stuff it…[Read more]
Thomas Kube started the topic Rpm and hydraulic pressure instrument in the forum Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago

Does anybody have the correct P/N for the Mitchell RPM tach to replace on a io520 in the M eyers? Mine starts fluttering and I need to order in advance.
My hydraulic pressure instruments shows wrong pressures although it is still sealed. Did anybody have it overhauled in the US? Where would you send it to?

Thanks, Thomas

Steve Bauman replied to the topic Any info available for balancing control surfaces? in the forum Flight Controls – Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago

Hi guys
The flight controls on the Meyers 200 do NOT need to be balanced when painted. They are controlled by push –pull rods. Aircraft that have control CABLES they are the ones that need to be balanced if painted.
This from the FAA.

Also on ANOTHER change to the IO550-F engine is the 2 bladed prop on the IO520-A is 82 inches, the IO550-F engine requires a 2 bladed prop to be 84 inches.
Thomas Kube replied to the topic Engine oil leaks in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago

Hi Ed,

I found the upper intake mount bracket broken on my plane. Caused some vibration. Fixed it but now we chase other problems, like a leaking F&M adapter and a leaking valve cover.

Keep the spirit up.

Thomas Kube replied to the topic F&M Oil Filter adapter in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago

HI from Germany, I have the same problem. No significant leakage but still a mess after flight.
We will try again and report.

Dean Siracusa replied to the topic Elevator trim control cable in the forum Flight Controls – Meyers 200 3 years, 8 months ago

Did the cable break or is it just bound up? If it’s bound up, the process is to remove it, hang it up from the ceiling and pour Kroil penetrating oil into it, until it’s leaking out the bottom. Let it stay there for several days before reinstalling.

Also, regular checking of the elevator trim prior to each flight will also help keep it unb…[Read more]
Dean Siracusa replied to the topic F&M Oil Filter adapter in the forum Engine – Meyers 200 3 years, 8 months ago

Yes, the Airwolf is mounted on the firewall. I’ve heard good things about it. My only concern is a hose failure would be catastrophic.

With regards to the F&M (now owned by Tempest), I used one on my IO-520 for years. The only time I had an issue is when a new mechanic would not understand the requirements.

First is that each time the a…[Read more]
