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.

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.

Both have performed flawlessly. I was able to get both on separate group buys on VAF at a much reduced price.

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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 01:34:34 PM PST US Subject: Re: RV-List: Which Prop Governor From: RV6 Flyer If you can get at PCU5000, I would recommend that governor.
