That's great news Herb. I suppose shops are just like people. Some are willing to make the effort and others are not when it comes to keeping old parts serviceable. If you think of it, mention my exact model number to your shop and see what they say. I'm just curious. I have very little knowledge on how all this maintenance stuff works so I am at the mercy of the people who sign the log books. So I guess that means I have to do what they say. If they say they are junk, I have know way to dispute that other then to get another opinion. Sometimes it is just easier to write the damn check so I can get my airplane flying again then trying to fine someone willing to make the old parts flyable. Let me know how this all finally ends up for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it all goes the way it appears to be. Those are outstanding quotes. Good Luck!

According to H&S, McCauley parts are no problem. H&S said that McCauley is really good about supporting their products. I will let you know how it goes, I plan to pull the rear at annual (next month) and send it in. I think they said the turn around time is about 5 days.

Thanks Herb.... I'm curious why I can't get the same service in Chicago that you can get in Michigan. Both shops said mine were junk. Hmmm.... Keep me posted.

Thanks Ed

Here is an update on the governor. Just got is back yesterday, so that was 6 business days turnaround from pulling the unit off, shipping, receiving and install. Again, mine is a Woodward model. Total cost was $1,080.00 for complete overhaul, new gasket and shipping. Should be test flying tomorrow after a gear swing.

That's great Herb. Thanks for the update. I assume you did both governors for $1080 per governor?

Just the rear this year and will probably do the front in the fall / winter. Got a spread out those expenses to save money for fuel.
