Hello Chuck. The 145 is such a cool airplane. You need to send a note to Jamon Pruitt that is a member on the site. Jamon has a bunch of planes including a 145 and a 200. His 145 is listed for sale here on the site in the classifieds. I’ve seen her in person and she’s beautiful. Like most of us, Jamon is an aviation nut. Give him a call and…[Read more]

Hello Thomas and Ed. I will check with Stein and get his thoughts. He still needs to get me an official quote so that I can send him some $ and save on some taxes leaving poor Joe Biden out in the cold. I’ll be happy to share the quote with anyone who needs it. Wish this site supported uploads of photos and .PDFs so that we could all share.…[Read more]

Thomas-you stated what I was thinking. The question is how much he would charge each of us for the STC. I will tell you that a $40K A/P install does not work for me. I would love the upgrade but at that number I will just keep my Century III in as good a condition as I can. And I get it that Stein is learning as he goes and that hopefully that…[Read more]

Chuck-a friend of mine just purchased a Micco and I had a chance to sit in the right seat. It was very roomy and felt very comfortable. I am 5’8″ and weigh 170.

A quick follow up to Mark’s quick follow up post…

Peter, welcome to Meyers. You’ve been active on the forum for only a month and have already bagged a unicorn. Holy $#!+ !!! Your new Meyers family has been agonizing over how to achieve what you have done for years. If you do a search you will see the many different posts of false starts on how…[Read more]

Thank you Mark. Great feedback.

Ed

Peter-thank you for the detailed feedback. So I am assuming SteinAir would do another install and run it through the FSDO again?

Ed

Peter, that is very encouraging and thank you for sharing. A few questions for you:

1. Did you replace an existing A/P or was this a brand new installation?
2. If the former, what did you replace?
3. And if the former, did you reuse existing servos or go all new?
4. Did you have to get an engineer involved on paperwork for submission to the…[Read more]

Pretty funny Kevin! I bet most of us have some quarantine lbs!

Good luck on the hunt. Dean is the go to here.

Kevin-welcome to the Meyers team! I do the vast majority of my flying solo. These are great 2 person plus a lot of luggage and full fuel airplanes. My useful load is about 900#. With fuel fuel, that leaves 420# for pilot and pax plus luggage. I weigh 170 and my wife 130 so we have 120# left to be legal. Alternatively, put 60 gallons of fuel…[Read more]

Ted-I just some more digging on the FAA Registry, etc. In fact it says it is a ‘M200’

Great question. I have said on many occasions I was ‘an M200C’ and they then start calling me a Mooney. I asked a controller once and he said they did not have a Meyers in the manufacturer list as I recall.

I think if you tell them you are a Commander 200 that will work.

Others??

I am near Raleigh NC. I know there are a couple of guys in the NE who own 200’s. Dean Siracusa may be able to put you in touch.

Stefano-shame on some of us for not responding sooner! Where do you leave so we can coordinate an opportunity to see a 200 up close?

Gents-I had my mount on my 200C overhauled by Steve Loree at Loree Air in Diamond Springs CA. The 8130 Release references the mount as part number 67R003. The serial number is L3159A.

10-4. I would tell you they are worth the look.

Hey Robert-what is your typical load and distance? I can give you feedback with your response.

Mr. Dryden-love you joining the chat and appreciate your informed input. I respect Jody’s opinion but have to agree with you as in knowing a couple of Debbie owners and having flown with them that a Deb is fine airplane, as most of the Beech fleet tends to be.

I have 600 hours in my 200C model and will tell you she is a nice airplane. She is…[Read more]
