The A’s and B’s originally came with an IO-470 and had a lower VNE. In order to upgrade them to an IO-520a or IO-550f, there are stringers that need to be added to the empennage. And, once the additions are made, the VNE is increased to 236 mph. There are quite a few A and B owners who’ve upgraded their planes to both the IO-520a and IO-550f and…[Read more]

That’s very troubling about Cee Bailey. I bought windows and windshields from them only a few years ago and didn’t have any issues.

As for the rear windows, be sure they know that you have a D model as even those windows are different than in the A’s and B’s.

Find out what the tooling costs will be and perhaps we can spread those costs over…[Read more]

What would you like to know about N5511M? It doesn’t seem to have any accident reports on the NTSB website. And, that’s really all I know about that particular Meyers 200.

I can offer advice and suggestions on the general information about the 200. Just ask.

Thanks for this John. Sounds like a good summer project after I get by bird back with a new engine.

Frank-not sure my first message went through. D model has flush rivets ob the wings. The IO 550 is accomplished through the STC or a field approved 337. I am thinking there was some empennage beef up on the C/D…? Hopefully someone can confirm.

I believe that many people use the smaller U-shaped seal on the empenage.

I have created an updated Meyers 200 Maintenance Manual. It’s a rather large though so I haven’t just posted it here yet.

I’m considering offering a link to an on-demand publisher so you can have a printed version. It would probably cost around $30. Do you think that would be helpful?

Ed,
To install the new seals do the following:
1. Take 1300 or 1300L glue and thin with MEK or Acetone to a chicken broth like consistency.
2. Brush with acid brush the contact surfaces of both the seal and airframe and let dry. Do this 3 times.
3. Measure and cut the correct amount of seal and mark the leading edge end.
4. With an acid…[Read more]

Dean and other 200 owners-do we have access to a maintenance manual like the one Keith would have used to do his annuals?

Here’s the link to the race to get signup. Its simply a distance race and a lot of fun. Also, the race entrance fee includes several meals, swag, and a week long pass for Oshkosh Airventure!
