Could you perhaps flip the control arm on the governor 180 degrees to reverse the
operation?

It turns out the prop governor was not going to work for my combination. I
knew I should have made a RV8 Pusher! On the advice of Charlie we contacted
Southwest Aero for what turned out to be Extremely Friendly & knowledgeable
information. Great recommendation Charlie! Ultimately I went with a new Prop
Governor from Vans and will be selling back my current governor for about
1/4th the new unit purchase price. Could be worse. I am happy with this
solution even though it was a bit pricey but I have a shiny new accessory
that should give me years of service.
Thanks everyone,
Robin

*Subject:* RV8-List: Replacement Prop Governor Suggestion
Dear list,
We are very close to flying the 8A and have run our 400 TTSOH
engine with new Hartzell BA Prop. 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 "?-"

The gas shocks in my RV-6A that hold the canopy up seem to have both conked
out tonight. I know I can order new ones from Van's but are there
equivalent automotive gas shocks that would be available at a local auto
parts store?
