(Phillip Perry) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:45:31 AM PST US Subject: RV10-List: FS Hartzell S-1-15 prop governor From: "woxofswa" Get one before the run clears them out! I have a Hartzell S-1-15 Prop governor. Made in USA! This unit was shipped by Lycoming on a Thunderbolt 540. This unit was pulled off of a Bearhawk project to serve as a donor unit to get me home from my AOG divert escapade in Tuba City after my MT fail. It has an easy to adapt to arm already installed. This unit has less than two hours operation on it, involving two test runs and a 1.3 hour flight where it worked flawlessly. I bought the owner a brand new replacement one because he deserved it. I can't use this one long term because it is designated for a wide deck engine and I have a narrow deck. Disclaimer. Upon arrival home we did find metal in the finger filter and oil filter media. We drained the oil through a paint filter and found nothing so the filters did their job and the oil was clean. The filter in the PG gasket was also clean. Nevertheless, I would have this unit disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled just in case. If you buy this and damage is found, I will refund your money. $1,000 OBO shipped as is with filter gasket. -------- Myron Nelson Mesa, AZ Flew May 10 2014 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=459640#459640 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:14:53 AM PST US Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: MT P860-3 Prop Gov fail. From: Werner Schneider I know 2nd hand info is always a bit of an unease and it would be great they would announce this things public as well, as having a subscription possibility to their SB's would help. Now the company is tech savvy not Internet savvy so that might explain a bit the shortcoming on that side but is no excuse. I had a call today with MT Germany support and he confirmed he has the list of 860-3 which needs to be fixed, the problem is he needs the manager to sign the SB for release and they have summer holiday... But for everyone in that published time range you can get the support email off their web page and he will openly answer you if your serial is impacted or not. They did, after the first failure and the following once an in deep analysis and could track the issue down so that is why they have that list.

P-860-3 (s/n 13G124G) manufactured in(2-13) from Vans 46.9 total hours with NO issues An Inquiry to MT Germany, my Governor S/N will be impacted by SB31 when rele ased. I have removed it and sent it to MT USA in Florida for update. I was i nformed that the Tech folks of MT USA (Florida) were in Germany, due back on Monday. Update parts ??? should arrive in Florida in the next few days. IMOP while I don=99t like surprises...the fact that MT responded quick ly/honestly to an email inquiry indicates they are focused on the issue. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:59:11 AM PST US From: Phillip Perry Subject: Re: RV10-List: Re: MT P860-3 Prop Gov fail. Which PG did they get their hands on for detailed analysis? So far there have been 4 problems with the PG. Rick Lark - Which was an unrelated failure and traced back to SB #27 (Seized Bushing). Todd Stovall and Myron Nelson- Just occurred and were the shove to getting this issue recognized as a trend. That leaves Joel Graber who experienced the very first failure - one that didn't puncture the casing leading to oil loss. Joel sent his back to the US office of MT and they returned it to him with a comment that they'd never seen this before and "governor is scrapped due to overspeed". According to Joel, he "paid them to take it apart and send it back." Unless there's a 5th out there that we aren't aware of, I don't see where any of the three related failures were ever properly examined.

Yeah... I don't relate your SB #27 failure to the upcoming SB #31 failures. I'm concerned that they are developing a SB for the weight issue without having laid their hands on a failed PG for a detailed analysis...
