Subject: | Which Prop Governor |
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.

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.

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