Guys, Jamon Pruitt should have a better bead on this. He knows the owners of TruTrak and is co-located with them at the same field. He has been in many discussions with them about the Meyers and they are still not in a position to get us on the list yet. This was my understanding a few months ago. Jamon, what say ye?

Just did.

THanks Tom

Greg,
The airplane can be very tight for someone who is 6-8. My 6-9 friend can’t fit in either seat, but he has long legs that won’t fit under the dash or around the controls. Also, the gear handle is very close to my right knee (I’m 6-0) and may be an issue if you have long legs. I’ve heard there are those who modified the seat rail mounts…[Read more]

Tom-I found it. Thanks for the nudge.

Greg-see a post below that I just saw on the Twin Cessna site and copied and pasting here. Food for thought.

I read once on a forum “The cheapest airplane you can buy is the most expensive one!”

Our recent search for a Twin Cessna has brought back to mind some thoughts of things learned from my previous aircraft search and purchase. And thi…[Read more]

Tom, is our 200 fleet on the Garmin AML for the G 5 or did you get a field 337?

Greg, when I sold my Archer in 2000 my partners and I bought a C 182. Picked up 15 knots plus useful load. It was prefect for the flying I was doing then. We sold it during the recession in 2008 and I bought (without partners) the Meyers 10 years ago and now have 500 hours in her. I have also not looked back, although I have spent a ton of…[Read more]

Chris,

Jeff at High Desert Avionics at WJF did the install, fabulous job! Look to schedule about 6 months in advance, and it’ll take 3 times longer than promised due to demand. Worth the wait, although I did miss Benton Harbor MI and Harris Ranch CA Fly Ins …

Chris,

Last year I updated 2919T with Garmin 530WAAS, 2x G5s, 330ES, and 255 NAV/COM. I was able to purchase refurbished 330 and 530, new G5s and 255. All of these worked well with my older Garmin Audio panel. With this install, you are able to remove the air pump and pneumatic gyros since the dual G5s have batteries and provide back-up…[Read more]

Peter,

The feel tanks are welded aluminum and may be easily removed from the aircraft (given a little patience and dexterity). The hardest part is disconnecting the fuel lines. I have a few I tunes I can send of the 4 tanks out of the aircraft so you may see the shape and fittings, if you are still interested. Replacements would have to be…[Read more]

Dean,

Where is TruTrak with regard to the M200 STC? They seem to be focused on the larger market share aircraft. I’m guessing the A36, V35, M20, and C210 will precede the M200 … It’s been over a year since they started this discussion and has any progress been made? Options to the older Century systems that can interface with the newer Gar…[Read more]
