A quick follow up to Mark’s quick follow up post…

Peter, welcome to Meyers. You’ve been active on the forum for only a month and have already bagged a unicorn. Holy $#!+ !!! Your new Meyers family has been agonizing over how to achieve what you have done for years. If you do a search you will see the many different posts of false starts on how…[Read more]

A quick follow-up to this post.

This installation is a first example, and it took stein a fair amount of work with his FSDO to get it approved.

The best approach to discussing this option is to call stein directly and talk about the upgrade and the excellent engineering relationship he has with his FSDO. This is a great opportunity to put a…[Read more]

Robert,
To clarify, each strut requires 3 seals as listed. If you are able to disassemble one strut, you can verify the dimensions prior to ordering.

VR, Tom

Robert,

My notes from Bill Perry show:
2ea AN6230B-4 (MS28775-226)
1ea AN6227B-30 (MS28775-327)
For all 3 gear struts.

All are available at Aircraft Spruce.

Did Barg and Jones fix you up, Jeff?

Andy, I didn’t realize that you were of the Betzoldt lineage. I was already happy to see you in Flip’s plane, but now I’m even more excited that Meyers is embedded into your DNA so deeply. Can’t wait to meet you. Tell Fred that Karen and Ashley say hello.

When I started out in the 200 I had less total time and 200 time than you do now. My…[Read more]

Hello Bob and thanks for sharing some of your Meyers journey with us. Dean, Mark and Ed have answered all of your questions, but I thought I would add some details.

When you buy one of these planes you are really buying into a family. The Owner’s Association is very strong and even safely met this yer in Sedona despite the virus. You will…[Read more]

Good afternoon Chris. Karen and I were unable to make Sedona due to Hurricane Laura direct hit. Both planes damaged, OTW extensive 200 will just end up with a new paint job.

The folks that did attend voted for Fredircksburg, TX and the Hangar Hotel as the 2021 fly in destination. Steve Freeman couldn’t run away fast enough/is too polite so he…[Read more]

Mark, Contact Steve Freeman or Phil Hart. Click on Members from the menu above and you’ll see them. They have a cool design that has a fluted neck which keeps water intrusion out. When we rebuilt the engine in 749C we changed all of the hoses and pulled the tanks. Wish I’d know about it beforehand. My plane rarely sit out except for Oshkosh…[Read more]

Our OTW also has the aluminum wing walk area. I do not believe that it is original. Send an instant message to Jim Jones (in this site’s directory) and either he or Mike Barg will know for sure. If you could, please post back anything you find out here to the site for the benefit of all.

Hello Ed,

I’ve tried all kinds of combinations as I’ve upgraded iPads over the years. I’ve always used the full sized iPads and have them linked to the GTN 650 via a flighstream 210. After having tow RAM yoke mounts that I loved on the older iPads I was disappointed with the fit of the iPad Pro mount. I was going to switch to their X Mount to…[Read more]

Welcome, Doug,

What is you mission for your aircraft? Whatever it may be, a 200 can probably fill it. My wife and I race ours (we’re the current Spot Air Race Leauge champions for production aircraft), I use it for cross country business travel, we’ve camped out with her at MAOA Member Steve Freeman’s air museum and last weekend took our…[Read more]

Congratulations Brent and welcome to the family! I wish that you’d been able to make it to the annual fly in which was held in Sedona, especially since you were in Phoenix. My wife and I didn’t make it due to damages to both planes (a 200 A model and a Meyers OTW) by Hurricane Laura. Next year you will be able to fly back in to Fredricksburg…[Read more]

Welcome Doug!

As you may have noticed, we are passionate about our planes and enjoy the time we are able to put into preserving the fleet. Several have been upgraded to the IO-550, which is an amazing enhancement to the original design. Others have spent substantial resources on upgrading their avionics to make these fast cross country machines…[Read more]

Hi Mark. I have most all the decals required for the 200 including what you need. I’m bringing samples to the fly-in but could mail anything you need. Call me at 269-369-1052 Ross Warner
