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]

Thomas,
Sorry,I haven’t been on this part of the forum lately. I will check with my mechanis next week to get that info in case you still need it.

Hi Dean, I am interested.

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]

My A&P mechanic replaced my lock with a new lock and key with no problem.

Mark, Sorry I didn’t see your question before. I have had to replace two caps because the rubber got old and stiff. My mechanic found replacement caps at McFarlane Aviation. He said he will get the part number when he gets back to town. The caps he found required two minor modifications. First, the metal plate on the top has a larger…[Read more]

Hi Brent,

Glad to hear your flight home went well. I am curious about Thomas’s comment on the brakes as my 200D does have differential braking.

The techniques for applying power and rudder for take off also apply to a touch and go. That seems like common sence but I had an early touch and go get my attention.

I reccomend a flapes 20…[Read more]

Hi Bob,

I have owned and enjoyed my Meyers since September 2001. The Meyers 200 is a great airplane. Unfortunately, I am dealing with the FAA on some special issuance issues. I still have my class three medical but at age 77 I have put my aircraft, N2983T, on the market.

Concerning your questions, take off and go around take some getting used…[Read more]

Hi Doug,

I have owned my 200D sence September 2001. They are great airplanes. They are especialy good for cross county flights with good speed and the capability for long legs. I usually fly at altitudes from 7 to 9,000 MSL. My opinion is that my Meyers is very stable, it can be easily trimed hands off, and it handles turbulence very well.…[Read more]

Hi Ed,
I have a lot of IFR experience with military and airline flying but it is a bigger challenge with no autopiot or flight directer. I try to avoid actual weather approaches but practice one or two approaches on nearly every flight just in case I have to make one in actual weather. I approach the FAF at 120 mph and configure gear and flaps…[Read more]

I don’t think they are required.

I have adjusted the half turns slightly to get the pitch contlol pressure I like for take off and initial climb.

Prior to take off, my partner would rotate the elevator trim nob full nose down and then back eight half turns. I have recently had the elevator trim reworked and adjusted according to specks. I now rotate full nose down and then back four half turns for take off. This adjustes the gauge where it should be for take off and is a little more…[Read more]
