Thanks Frank.

So my IA ordered a brand new one today from McCauley (or whatever their approved distributor is) for $4300.

So where is everyone getting their replacement, McCauley governors from...

McCauley governor model for '69 with a c6b?

The Woodward on the front just sheared itself to sprinkles so I'm trying to figure out where to go next. When I looked at the McCauley application guide (as a novice) I saw several governor numbers...

Just put Surefly in the front and will let you know how it goes. A little nervous though, as a DPE who also manages a charter operation said he has seen a colleague install 3 of them on separate...

I recently had my front prop overhauled by H&S as well. Haven't flown it yet but a generally good experience.

The issue with threaded props is that once you pull them apart, you can't put the...

Prop control all or nothing

My IA was putting the final touches (or so he thought) on my first annual. When we spoke last week he noted that the rear governor might need to be sent out, as the prop control would do nothing...

Wouldn't jumping put you awfully close to that rear prop if your suit had a lot of drag, or you got snagged onto something?

Looking for ‘69 D inboard wheel half

Anyone have (or know of) a wheel half? If you don’t want to separate we can discuss the whole wheel (main gear).

Thanks.

I'm still a bit green about some of these things; does this mean it isn't the right kit for my (seemingly) stock, N/A '69 D?

My IA damn near stripped it to the steel for the first annual (which is still not finished). He is as risk averse as your local FSDO, but I sincerely appreciate it. Having said this, my plane sat...

That is some big money. Just the maintenance on an io550 alone would push me right out of that club. Even if I had it, I think I'd spend it on a turbo. By the time you get to 9 or 10k I imagine...

Has anyone ever experimented with asymmetric setup of pitch? Since the propwash from the front (Ve I...

Having said that, your tale certainly inspires (kudos and) confidence that either can be a "nonevent".
