(Tim Lewis) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 10:01:47 AM PST US From: David Lammers Subject: RV10-List: Ultimate Quick Build Fuel Tanks FOR SALE: The ultimate quickbuild RV-10 fuel tanks. These tanks are completed! They do not leak! They are Van=99s standard configuration. Save yourself a lot of build time and messing with sealant. I will sell these for the cost of materials. Just turn your parts into Van=99s for credit and buy these. They have been flying and are being replaced with an extended range system. If interested call 31nine-55one-2832. No text, no email=94(but I will talk all day about airplanes). ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:34:30 PM PST US From: Tim Lewis Subject: RV10-List: PCU 5000 able to command low rpm (<1700rpm)? 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. -- Tim Lewis -- HEF (Manassas, VA) A&P RV-6A N47TD -- 1104 hrs - sold RV-10 N31TD -- 740 hrs ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:45:40 PM PST US From: Carl Froehlich Subject: Re: RV10-List: PCU 5000 able to command low rpm (<1700rpm)? That is about the RPM I see (RV-8A and RV-10) with the PCU-5000X. Carl > On Sep 19, 2016, at 4:31 PM, Tim Lewis wrote: > > > I'm considering replacing my MT prop governor.

From: Tim Lewis 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.

From: Tim Lewis 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.
