    Subject: Which Prop Governor
    From: MLE <rv6awingman@gmail.com>
    When I completed my plane, I used a used Woodward Governor purchased from someone on this list. It's not doing the job for me anymore, acts sluggish and won't hold RPM like I believe it should. After researching overhaul opportunities I've decided to purchase a new governor from Van's I don't want start any discussion like "primer wars", but what are folks choosing for Prop Governors if running a CS prop? Vans sells the MT and Hartzell governors for almost the same money and I'm wondering how to choose between them. I'm wondering if a Hartzell might be easier to service later if in the USA but that shouldn't be the only criteria for choosing. Marty RV-6A 240 hours and climbing.

    I went with the MT 3 Blade prop with the MT aerobatic governor. This governor works opposite of normal governors. If using an MT prop, I would buy the MT governor. I have had good service out of mine, rock solid rpm in aerobatic conditions. I can not comment on Hartzell. MT has a service center in Florida, I know they do prop rebuilds etc, they should be able to rebuild the governor. But......you might check out the MT website.

    I have a PCU5000 on the 8A and the 10. Both have performed flawlessly. I was able to get both on separate group buys on VAF at a much reduced price.

    I got the PCU5000X during a group buy at VAF. Nearly 5 years and 650 hours later it has been flawless controlling my MT 3 blade propeller. -------- David Maib RV-10 #40559 Transition Trainer New Smyrna Beach, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=400298#400298

    If you can get at PCU5000, I would recommend that governor.
