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, 6 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

One thing my mechanic did 3 years ago when I had a FWF done (including nose gear) was to mark on the trunion and nose gear the limits in red lines so as to know what the maximum turn was with the nose gear in a ground based device (ie, not jacked up)

Mark-I think you are correct. Only one I think is required is the trim warning on the panel? Perhaps one of our A&P/IA brothers (or sisters) will comment.
Ed Pulliam replied to the topic Conversation in the forum Meyers 200 5 years, 6 months ago

Mark and Hans-nice to hear from both of you. Mark-thank you for the tidbits. Very helpful. I just need o practice more IFR procedures, even if I do VFR.

Hans-I remember our flight well and I had heard that you went to the fly-in. I too wonder what the outcome will be on gatherings, large and small, until a vaccine comes along.

I just landed…[Read more]

Hello Thomas from NC, USA. Bob Fields was a standard ‘go to’ as I understand it at one time but there are a lot of stories the last few years of non-performance so I would go into any transaction eyes wide open and credit card only. I have heard feedback is spotty and follow through is all but non existent.

Certainly I hope others have recent,…[Read more]

I did not know Flip but am glad to hear his gal is in good hands. Welcome to the Meyers world Andy!
Ed Pulliam replied to the topic Conversation in the forum Meyers 200 5 years, 9 months ago

Tom-great info and thank you! Great stuff for me to work on next time I am out there. I flew safety pilot on Wed in a SR 22-my first Cirrus ride. Amazing how different from our old gals.

Andy-did you purchase Flip Comer’s 200?

And in the trim indicator-you are correct, it does not move much. As you are finding out, a slight twist of trim in…[Read more]

  Ed,
  
  Try entering the pattern, or doing closed patterns by reducing power to 15” MP once you’ve reached your downwind altitude (should be ~120 mph), then at midfield put the gear down, which should slow you to about 100 mph, then add 20 flaps abeam your touchdown point and reduce power to just above idle. This may get you the parameters I men…[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]
