    I have 700 hr+ on my mt gov without any issues. There is a simple initial setup for the lever position and limits. that is it. I am not sure why van supplies mt instead of Hartzel but I suspect that with all things Van, value is the factor. Do not archive.

    Vans randomly supplies both. My Hartzell governor came in the FWF kit. I don't know the logic they use to determine which vendor they ship. If you do get a Hartzell, you'll need to replace the arm. Which Van doesn't include and costs another $27.

    I have 120+ hours on stock Vans YIO-540, 2 blade Hartzell, and Hartzell governor from Vans. No problems. I asked Vans for this governor, as I recall I think it was the same price as the MT. You do NOT need a new arm. You do need to re-orient the arm, easily done. Hartzell gave instructions after an email request. Mine was set for 2650 rpm out of the box. I left it there. My hangar neighbor also has a -10 with the same Hartzell set up, a few fewer hours. No issues for him, either. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=401593#401593

    Any recommendations for sound proofing and firewall heat shield? Obviously many choices are available=8A Soundex, 3M, Super Sound Proof, Heat Shield Mat , etc. What is working well in RV10 land? It would be interesting to see how many people have selected to install sound proofing vs. going =B3au naturale=B2 . ---- Jonathan Beasley

    Subject: Re: how can I find out the gear reduction for the governor
    driv
    From: Jim Ayers <lessdragprod@aol.com>
    The -3 and -5 governors are identical, except for the final adjustments. For the -3 governor on the wide deck IO-540 engine, the high RPM stop screw has to be turned out quite a bit to get to 2700 RPM from the factory setti ng of about 2550 RPM. (For the narrow deck IO-540 engine, the initial stop setting on the -3 governor would be at about 2700 RPM.) The -3 governor on a wide deck IO-540 now has a longer travel to get to th e low RPM stop. The governor arm should have full travel from the high RPM stop to the low RPM stop. Perhaps someone already flying can say if they have full travel (stop to st op) available with Van's governor cable. Full governor arm travel is helpful to have for the mag check so it is poss ible to get the expected 450 RPM drop when the governor/propeller is cycled .

But can some one tell me what the operational impact is of having the incorrect one installe d? Slower reaction, incorrect pitch for a given power, pitch changes too quick ly, etc.? Just because it works doesn't mean it is right, just trying to under stand what trade off is being made. -Jason -------- Jason Kreidler 4 Partner Build - Sheboygan Falls, WI Tony Kolar, Kyle Hokel, Wayne Elser, Jason Kreidler N44YH - Flying - #40617 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=401517#401517

    Subject: Re: Sound Proofing and Heat Shield
    I sprayed on a sound proofer. and heat shield. If I was doing it again. I would get a heat blanket for the firewall and keep the top of the line headsets, skip the sound proofing all together. Even with all the sound proofing I did I still have a plane that is so loud when cruising that I wonder what it would be like with out it, so I wear Lightspeed Zulu and it all goes away. As a reference when I knocked on the skin it had a noise that went away with the sound proofer so it does something, just not much up in the air.
