Hi,
I am looking for the same install.
Can anybody post a picture of the spring and its installation points?

Thank you.

Thanks Greg The bonanza bunch sure can get frustrated with the Meyers Im particularly excited about the 550 birds coming up and running hopefully we can see some real 200ktas speeds 230mph for us pre ’66 guys The plane i would be interested is the Mooney Ovations with the Big engines They are probably gonna be the plane to beat Will try to…[Read more]

Hey Jamon, nice job against the Bonanzas. It seems as though they have got them running near our 200 speeds.

Maybe SARL could host a race in the central San Joaquin Valley of California.

We found a ‚replacement‘ and could help out if someone wants some spare.

Hello all! would like to get all these different models of 200s, with different engines and props the 470/520/550 , and meet up to have a race together and really have some fun tweaking these lil ferraris of the sky. Check out the sport air racing league and sign up, John and I have had a few runs, at race settings 259M will turn 2750rpm at…[Read more]

Sorry, I meant GAMI fuel injectors.

My 200 has a IO 520 engine. I normally cruise with fuel setting LOP. I have a EDM 700 installed so I can see exactly when I reach peak and GAMI plugs installed so all cylinders peak close to the same tempratures. I think this equipment is important for lean of peak operation. I continue to adjust lean of peak until I fell rougness in the…[Read more]

My 200C which I also race has the IO-520A with Gami’s and setup to cruise at 2350 RPM and what ever MP I can get which is obviously dependent on Altitude and other. Also run ROP. On average though, I cruise at 9 – 10,000 ft and avg. 21″MP @ 2350 @ 14 GPH which typically gives me around 186KTS True Airspeed. CHT’s are generally around 350 and EGT…[Read more]

The IO-550 and 3 blade prop makes a significant difference in the performance of the 200. My engine was sent to Lycon for head work and puts out 335hp. Fuel burn increases but climb out is way better as is cruise. I’ve owned this Meyers for 30yrs now and every flight really is fun. It feels so nice to fly as you 200 owners already know!

I have a 520a.
Here in Germany 100LL is about 8$/gal, so we try to run LOP.

With my very limited experience with my plane I just did 1 longer trip of 3hr 45 min to France. In FL 85 she took 12,5 gal/h for 140kn GS. Therhe must be some improvement.

When she is back from the shop I will go for max speed ROP, Christmas is coming…

How you run your engine depends on what engine you have, 470/520/550. My 200B has the IO-550F and I generally do short trips of 30 minutes to 1.5 hours at 4500′- 5500′. I’m not concerned about the fuel burn as I like the speed. I will run it at 23″@ 2400 186kts gps ( no wind ) and fuel burn around 19gph. Flew from my home airport CA32 ( San…[Read more]

All: Regarding OTW landings, grass, hard surface runways and crosswinds – FAA certification of Part 23 (OTW were certified under CAR 4, the previous certification standard before FAR Part 23) is 15 mph ‘demonstrated cross wind’. Factory test pilots are required to certify all Part 23 airplanes to 15 mph crosswinds, therefore, it then depends upon…[Read more]
