I'm considering replacing my MT prop governor. One thing I do like
about the MT governor is you can pull the prop control back during
engine out practice and the governor slows the engine way down (which
extends glide).
I understand (from owner comments and Hartzell tech support) that the
Hartzell governor's minimum governing speed is about 1700 rpm. I'm
interested in learning what minimum governing speed folks have seen on
aircraft flying with the PCU 5000X.

That is about the RPM I see (RV-8A and RV-10) with the PCU-5000X.

Thanks, Carl.
I want to make sure I understand your reply correctly. I do my runups
at 1800. If I pull the prop control back during runup, the MT
governor/prop will slow the engine way down -- probably below 1000 rpm.
Certainly well below 1700 rpm. Are you telling me that with the PCU
5000, if pull the prop control all the way back (at runup, for example),
your experience is the PCU5000 won't slow the engine below 1700 rpm?
Thanks very much for your insights. I appreciate it.

I don't recall how far it will pull down the RPM - I only pull the prop
until a get a slight drop to make sure the governor is functioning. I was
told (correctly or incorrectly) deep run up cycles are hard on props.

Carl,
I was told the same.
If you get a chance, perhaps you can test this: At 1000 rpm idle, can
you pull the prop control and see if the prop governor will further slow
the engine rpm. If so, that's the info I'm looking for.
