I too hope N489C will fly again

In reply to - Rob Evans replied to the topic N489C accident in the forum Airframe – Meyers 200 John, So sorry to see this. Your guardianship of that aircraft, during your tenure, was extraordinary.

In time it would resolve itself into the back end of a Bonanza. Since I was catching him anyway, I didn’t think it was cheating to gain a hundred feet. Then I would put the Meyers into a shallow dive, and as I went by, I would give the Bonanza…[Read more]

In reply to - James Jinnette started the topic Meyers 200 vs Bonanza in the forum Meyers 200 Hi – I’m new to this site today, and frankly am here because I just saw the Meyers 200 for sale in Tx on Barnstormers.

The late Doc Morgan usually won the “Scenic Route” award, in our long x-country (not pylon) races. For the benefit of the FAA and the insurance companies, we called them “proficiency exercises.” The most proficient pilot crossed the finish line first. One of the little secrets learned was that with a…[Read more]

I got a 12” length of 1/2” balsa wood, added a firmly attached lanyard, and with a Sharpee labeled one face “M” (main) and the opposite face “A” (aux). Then I did the 5 gal. at a time separately fot the mains and the auxes…[Read more]

I still have one — I hope, actually I have an appointment with my AME this afternoon for a renewal — and did not have to sell N489C. I don’t think we own these airplanes, we’re just caretakers for the next person, and I was lucky to find Ray Ferrell, who will be just as dili…[Read more]

I would take the spring to a large dealer and see if they can match it. Century Spring Corp?

This opening is rectangular and about 3 sq. in. It exhausts cabin air into the tail cone, and modestly helps airflow through the cabin. It is often covered with upholstery. Mine has a cover perforated…[Read more]
