Mark – That is great info! Thank you for that. Will try that out next time.

I have adjusted the half turns slightly to get the pitch contlol pressure I like for take off and initial climb.

Mark Jensen replied to the topic Conversation in the forum Meyers 200 5 years, 7 months ago
Prior to take off, my partner would rotate the elevator trim nob full nose down and then back eight half turns. I have recently had the elevator trim reworked and adjusted according to specks. I now rotate full nose down and then back four half turns for take off. This adjustes the gauge where it should be for take off and is a little more…[Read more]

I did not know Flip but am glad to hear his gal is in good hands. Welcome to the Meyers world Andy!

Hi Ed – Yes, Flip’s aircraft is ours. Understood on the trim gauge. Knowing I was the last one to fly it, not a big deal, but just used to looking at a gauge before T/O and making sure things are set.

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]

Andy-are you talking about when you set flaps? Or when you set trim?
-
Andy Nixon replied to the topic Conversation in the forum Meyers 200 5 years, 7 months ago
Hi Ed!
Since I am new to flying the 200, so far I’ve honed in on 110 MPH for DW, 90 MPH on base and final. I have yet to use full flaps, only T/O setting for landing. Since the travel ban has been in effect, we have yet to take N430DP on a customer visit trip yet, so just been doing cycles in the pattern and stalls, etc. to learn the systems.…[Read more]

Thanks Andy. There are so many things to throw out there. Maintenance, operations, lessons learned, etc.
For example-I had a great phone call a ways back with Nels Harding about approach speeds and pattern work and what to do given our 30’6″ wing span and the fact we give out of wing and sink like a rock below 100 MPH with MP below 15″. I have…[Read more]

Folks, I continue to be disappointed in the lack of participation among us as 200 owners. There are less than 100 of us with these gems and I see stuff posted with little response or feedback. I track the Twin Cessna and Beech Talk folks and they are very engaged. How do we change this??

I posted back in January that my 180 hours SFREMAN IO-520 was running poorly and cutting off at idle. After messing with re-setting pressures, my A&P/IA pulled the fuel pump and sent it off. It was full of trash and had to be overhauled. All the hoses were replaced at OH but the guys said the trash looked like flashing from inside the hoses…[Read more]
