I'm about to hang my engine in a few weeks. I got a standard D4A5 through Van's with the standard Hartzel prop. Looks like Van's is shipping Hartzel governors with the FWF kit, which I got about 6 months ago. Did they used to ship FWF kits with MT governors?

Rob,

Hartzell has a control arm extension that you need for the RV-10. It's about a $30 part. I don't have the part number handy, but Hartzell will know what you need. There are several three or four year old threads here that discuss the need. Van's supplies the Hartzell governor, but not the required arm.

They've been shipping both for awhile. Prior to about 2011 or they shipped only MT. I got one of the first Hartzell's with no prior notice from Van's. A little surprise when you were expecting a MT. I will say that I'm pleased with the Hartzell. I've stopped by their facility several times since it's about a thirty minute flight away from me. They do provide great support.

This is good to hear.

Do you know if this is still true with the FWF kits?

I'll answer my own question. Sounds like you only need the extended arm with the quadrant control. I've got vernier. See #6 in this thread:

Joe I still think you need the extension regardless of the cockpit side of the cable.

Default MT governor

I ordered a MT prop and governor about 3 weeks ago and now see this thread. Just curious, is this a problem with all gov's or just units from a couple years ago?

Thanks Todd. If so I'll update this thread for future reference.

Can anyone verify whether the extension arm for the Hartzell gov is needed for the vernier (aka blue knob) installs?
