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.

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]

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 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.

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 have a lot of IFR experience with military and airline flying but it is a bigger challenge with no autopiot or flight directer.

I replaced all the glass on my 200 in 2001. Last month, I replaced the small vent window. The glass is available from Cee Baileys Aircraft Plastics. The web site is http://www.ceebaileys.com. They are currently listing the rear window for $390.00. Hope that helps.

Based on my experience this is an important modification. I lost throttle control during taxi for take off as a result of a screw that pulled out of its threads.
