Everything runs great with the exception of the Prop Governor direction. The unit came off a Lake Amphibian LA-4-200 with a different prop. Unfortunately it seems to work backwards, the engine smoothes out and rpm increases when you pull the lever back. We believe we have the wrong Gov and it is time for a replacement. Here are the specifics: Prop: New Hartzell, HC-C2YR-1BFP/F7497 Engine: IO-360-AIB 200 Hp Hartzell Prop. Gov: The alum. tag is hard to read. Model F-6-5 ** Prior Aircraft: Lake LA-4-200 Ser. No. 465 My question; is there a preferred Prop Governor on the market for this prop & engine combination? I read on the Hartzell site the recommended Hartzell governor is the S-1-10. Any comments or recommendations? Thanks, Robin RV-4 Sold RV-6A Sold RV-10 210 Hours RV-8A Soon ** Model F-6-5 I'm sure about the "F" and the "6", pretty sure about the "5", it could have another digit after the 5, can't tell. Ser. no. -7310T, the dash could be an "A" or "?-" ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 03:22:33 PM PST US From: RV6 Flyer Subject: RE: RV-List: Replacement Prop Governor Suggestion All I can say is look into the PCM5000. All the prop shops that I have tal ked to have recommended that unit. The PCM5000 is available in an experime ntal version that is a little less expensive. Gary A.
