PCU5000?..Price Cutting thru Unity 5000

[MikeT]

Thanks Mike, That's the info I was looking for. I will double check and make sure this is correct for my engine, but now I can get hold of Chris and order. If I find anything different, I still have time to change it.

Thanks again
Mike T.

I just talked to Chris and I'm #20.

I hope I'm not overstepping what's proper, but I was concerned about long term storage as well. Chris sent me a service letter that states the following.



PROPELLER CONTROL UNIT OVERHAUL AND STORAGE REQUIREMENTS

1) Overhaul Requirements ?

a) Seven calendar years or TBO of the engine on which it is installed, not to exceed 2400 hours whichever

comes first, after entering service (engine installation and operation).

2) Long Term Storage of Propeller Control Units ? The following is applicable to new and overhauled Propeller

Control Units prior to entering service (engine installation and operation):

a). Storage must be in a clean dry environment, preferably above ground level, in the original shipping

carton to minimize exposure to dirt and moisture.



b). If storage period exceeds two (2) years, before entering service perform the following inspection:

1). Inspect externally for damage and corrosion. If greater than five (5) years, reseal and test.

2). Test run the Propeller Control Unit on a Propeller Control Unit test bench to

verify correct operation and to check for leakage. This must be accomplished by an FAA

approved Repair Station in accordance with the Propeller Control Unit Maintenance

Manual.

3) Sudden stoppage, lightning strike, propeller impact or metal contamination ?

a) Overhaul before return to service.

Curious, does anyone have an update on this or if we made it to 25 people yet? Looks like this Friday, 11/6/15, is the last day.

Hello All,

I talked to Chris today and ordered my governor and he said I was number 24. Hopefully there will be a few more ordered before this ends tomorrow.

I just put another one in so I'd say we are at the 25 mark now.

I appreciate everyone that participated in the group buy - (sounds like) we brought this thing in at the minimum price - which is very good for all 25 of us!!

It ends today so, anyone else that joins today - already knows what the price is

[PCU5000]

Hello All,
we have reached the final price of $1085. Thank you to everyone that has already ordered. For those who haven't You have until Sunday to do so. From Monday 11/9 onwards we will start to compile the orders.
