Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Assets Of Meyers 200 Business in the forum General 5 years, 2 months ago

Global made a presentation at last year’s fly-in in FL. They hired a market specialist to actively search for a buyer. Their plan was to keep all of the assets (TC, fixtures, parts, M400, and 2918T) together as a package sale. If they were not able to sell the entire package, Nin George said they would contact our Association prior to d…[Read more]

Mark,

I believe I have one in my stash of parts. I’ll check next trip to my hangar in a week or so. Do you need them for the mains as well? I’ll let you know what I find …

Have you asked Joan Diver about them?

Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Noise certificate in the forum Meyers 200 5 years, 2 months ago

Thomas,

I’m not familiar with a noise certificate being issued for the M200, but Marv Rogge had to complete noise testing when he installed the IO-550 with a 2 bladed prop on his aircraft. He or Steve Bauman may be able to answer if a “stock” certificate exists.

Mark,

Sounds like your elevator trim is now correctly rigged. It should require 4 half turns (2 full turns) from full nose down to set at take-off position.

VR, Tom

And sorry… I see I put Allclad not Alclad. Would mess you up if you’re searching.
Ashley Wade replied to the topic Original paint schemes in the forum Restoration / Rebuilding – Meyers OTW 5 years, 4 months ago

I am one of the newest to the OTW’s. Sir John Lyons that posted above is one of the most venerable, having owned an OTW and a 200 for many years. His suggestion about the Betzold family is perfect. Many would probably like to see Fred, Dan or Linda’s response, so please post back here. The three of them are members. To contact them click on…[Read more]

Hi Ed,

I typically fly a little slower than most, but 100 mph on DW, 90 mph on base, and crossing the fence (just short of threshold at 85 mph works fine for me. I carry a little bit of power into the flare, and roll it off as the nose comes up. You don’t want to try to flare at 80 mph without any throttle, as it will sink through to a c…[Read more]

Does anyone have an approved 337 for a 4-point harness?

Ashley Wade started the topic Turn & Bank Service in the forum Avionics – Meyers OTW 5 years, 7 months ago

OTW #40 has an A-11 military type turn and bank in each of the cockpits, one of which is inop. There is a port on the side for oil. Does this oil ever require servicing? I could not find a maintenance manual for the instrument online. Wondering if I can resurrect the inop and also keep the functional one going.

Thanks Meyers brain trust,

Ashley

Ashley Wade replied to the topic Actuator Seals in the forum Hydraulic System – Meyers 200 5 years, 7 months ago

Hey Tom! Hope all is well at Honeapath. My A&P did the same as Ed’s and it has worked flawlessly for 4 years. The prior owner and I were plagued by our step. At one point before I purchased the plane the step actuator was disconnected and the door sealed up. That A&P recommended that it not be repaired. I bought the plane with the step inop.…[Read more]
Tom Thibodeau replied to the topic Actuator Seals in the forum Hydraulic System – Meyers 200 5 years, 7 months ago

Robert,

I do have the part numbers and quantities required and multiple extra seals since I was sent a duplicate order. However, I am currently on an extended work trip and do not have access to my data or parts at this time. If you are able to wait until mid-March, I will send you a complete set of seals (or just the part numbers) at no cost.…[Read more]

Ashley Wade replied to the topic Original OTW insturment panel layout in the forum Avionics – Meyers OTW 5 years, 8 months ago

Congratulations on the OTW restoration. My wife has 1941. I believe it’s the original config and instruments and I can send you a picture of it. First, let’s wait for Mike Barg or Jim Jones to chime in. They will definitely be able to help. If they are tied up and do not respond soon I’ll reach out to them for you.

Best,

Ashley
