Ed,
I’ve been told they may be rechromed without creating any issues. Please contact Ross Warner to see about finding new old stock parts. He may be able to point you to someone who knows where to find them if you decide to go that route.
VR, Tom

Tom-I am getting some pitting on my main gear struts. Are there replacements parts or can they be rechromed?

Ray,
So very happy to hear the damage was minimal given your scenario. Thank you for the additional information. I’m guessing the strut extended slightly once the gear was in the well to force the tire against the bail and cause it to bind. A very unusual situation to be certain.
You did an excellent 2 wheel landing and had a great outcome.…[Read more]

Sorry to hear about your gear problem. My partner and I had a nose gear up landing which I also attributed to a problem with the strut. We bought the aircraft after an estate settlement and then had it down for about a year replacing the interior and glass. Because it sat for (?) years, it was difficult to service the strut to the proper…[Read more]

Hello Dean, I am in fort lauderdale with Carl Richards who owns ac serial # 379 or N200D. The ac experienced a sudden stoppage in Burly, Id. last Aug. since then since then the mechanic (The Flight Doctor) says he cannot put the three bladed propeller back on the speed mod nose due to their being no STC or legal Form 337 on record. We have a 337…[Read more]

Hi Tom,
Ray’s right strut was flat and it took off with it in that condition. It apparently didn’t catch the bail and just went past it. When the gear came down the bail got in its way.Oh, and my new Meyers 200, N2980T (Tom Wathen’s old plane) has the same gear light system as N489C and I honestly prefer the original way they’re set up as I…[Read more]

One additional tidbit…
A broken gear handle Uplock cable will be apparent because without the Uplock released, the gear UP red light will stay illuminated. Basically one red, two green would indicate the Uplock did not release on the gear indicating red. Instead of trying to find which cable to pull, raise the gear by putting the gear handle i…[Read more]

Ray,
So sorry to hear about your gear extension issues with 489C. As you are aware (but others may not be), your aircraft has a different gear indicating system than other M200s. 489C has a transit lights, where stock aircraft have UP (red) and DOWN (green) lights.
The Gear system of the M200 is quite simple: an engine driven hydraulic pump…[Read more]
