Thanks Dennis, I’m tardy in my reply. I think both Garmin and Avidyne are quite expensive in the repair/flat rate repair department. I much prefer the Avidyne overall, but it seems so few shops (that I have had contact with) will recommend or even want to sell them. Garmin definitely has the grips on the business, and I guess some folks should…[Read more]

Chris Blaine replied to the topic *PAN PAN* Garmin GFC500 Available in Meyers 200! *PAN PAN* in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 10 months ago
To Ashley, and others that have done “the Mod”. Not many comments after the installations, I am hopeful for some reports from the others that have done it. How long waited, how much $$, how satisfied, any regrets/wishing for another system, etc? Just finally getting to some avionics improvements on mine, the stuff Ashley mentioned is mostly…[Read more]

Hi Dennis, I recently flew a friend’s c310 with IFD540/440 and really liked them. They seem much more user friendly and so simple to operate. I was ready to jump on them when he had an issue and the avionics shop had to send his 540 back to FL somewhere. He waited many weeks for the repair and it was not inexpensive. SEA is a giant aviation…[Read more]

Hi Ashley, I’m with Ed, what is that gonna set you back? I would love to get a GFC500. Heard nothing but extreme happiness from users. Where is Stein and is Stein the only folks that could do 337 field approval? If someone did it, can another region get away with it without copying their installation process exactly? Definitely an exciting…[Read more]

Sounds like a good possibility to me. I would certainly be game. I am still in the market to upgrade my whole panel as well. Should have done it already, but had a severe six-figure water damage issue in my condo and needed to stand back for a while. We’re starting to recover from that and should get onto this avionics upgrade situation again…[Read more]

Chris Blaine replied to the topic Meyers Gatherings in the forum Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago
OMG, yes that’s so sad about the hurricanes. And sorry to hear of the Meyers’ damages. I’m sure there are many other more pressing and important issues there than our airplanes. Best of luck in recovering from that terrible weather onslaught.
Thanks though, for some information about the recent goings on. It is always fun and stimulating to…[Read more] -
Chris Blaine replied to the topic New to the site in the forum Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago
Hi Doug. Definitely can save weight going to solid state/digital avionics stuff. I am looking into a full panel replacement and expect to save 10, maybe 15 pounds (=/-, depending on how much removed, includes of course removing the vacuum pump mess). People who’ve actually done this can give an actual account. I have the old BN autopilot…[Read more]

Chris Blaine started the topic Meyers Gatherings in the forum Meyers 200 3 years, 6 months ago
I’ve been wondering about the recent Fly In at SEZ. There has been no follow up from the last update in June or July. In another post Ashley mentioned it and something about next year’s being in TX. We have been anxiously awaiting some details about it, wondering if other folks had any trouble or stories about getting there and what everyone…[Read more]

Hi Brent, welcome to the family. A family that rarely sells their airplane – once you get a Meyers, you won’t want to go back! BTW, which one did you acquire?
That is very well written advice given by Ed Pulliam, and covers most everything that you’ll encounter. I will add a couple points here that either bit me or was mentioned to me by…[Read more]

Chris Blaine replied to the topic Avionics Upgrade in the forum Avionics – Meyers 200 4 years, 10 months ago
OK… I’ve investigated PCA’s big avionics shop and “discovered” the Garmin G3x. Oh oh! Now my upgrade bill just hit the ozone, and I am really torn. Anybody done some drastic big PFD upgrade to their entire instrument panels? I may go that route if I can find some more $$. Seeking any thoughts, and many thanks again, for those of you that…[Read more]
