Are you talking about the plastic covers that are attached to the nose bowl itself? It’s just plexiglass. Some owners have purchased stock plexiglass at the hardware store and melted it on a stainless steel bowl in the oven.

Hi Dan,
The Aero-Commander built D model has a different aileron trim system than the earlier Meyers built planes. Meyers versions are indeed hydraulic while the Commander built versions use a spring system which is underneath the front seats.

The Commander version isn’t very effective and I know of several owners that just never bothered…[Read more]

Jamon, what’s wrong with your nose wheel?

I don’t know if S-Tec is certifying their 3100 autopilot in the same way that TruTrak and the other, newer autopilot companies are doing. If they are, I haven’t heard about it.

Hi Brian,
There are several Meyers 200s in Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Email me privately and I’ll be happy to make introductions. None of these planes are for sale but their owners don’t need much of an excuse to go fly.

Not only is the Meyers faster than anything else out there in its class, it’s also far safer and more fun…[Read more]

You and Jamon Pruitt should definitely talk. He’s got the same schematics but hasn’t installed them yet. Did you make the switch?

You might contact Jamon Pruitt. He also owns a Meyers 145, N34375. I’ll bet he’ll have an answer for you. Additionally, http://knisleyexhaust.com/ should be able to repair your exhaust system.

There’s a Meyers 200 owner in Red Hook, NY. Is that close enough?

If you tell me where what part of the country you live, I’ll happily make an introduction to an owner near you. They probably won’t sell you their plane, but I’m sure they won’t mind giving you a ride to see for yourself what they’re like.

Hey Trym,
There’s really no contest. And, I’m not just being biased. The Meyers 200 is faster, safer and more fun to fly than the Bonanza. The Meyers 200 is going to be at least 15 knots faster with the same engine. It’s also the only high performance/complex airplane that has no airworthiness directives on the airframe and the only one that has…[Read more]

Hi Kenny,
Glad to hear that you’re interested in these great planes! There aren’t many downsides to a Meyers 200. The question of whether it’s right for you basically depends on your typical mission.

The Meyers 200 is best suited to long cross country travel and it’s extremely reliable and efficient in that role. And when I say cross country, I…[Read more]

Were you able to resolve the elevator trim issues? If not I may have some suggestions on who to talk to about troubleshooting.

Hi Barry. What’s the problem and are you talking about the Elevator Trim? If it’s just really stiff, the easiest solution is to lube the control, starting at the cable right behind the panel. Start with SeaFoam DeepCreep and then use LPS spray.

If you’re talking about the Aileron Trim then it may be just the spring. that need replacing. They’re…[Read more]
