PCU 5000X Prop Guv Group Buy (Reply thread)

[RV7ator]

CJ,

Since I'm a cheap bas...buzzard, I'm clinging to the down payment up to close of the offering period, but APS will get my order for a PCU5000. I sent you a PM for count purposes in case this post gets overlooked.

Guys,

The response has been over the top!

In the past few days the orders have been ROLLING in!

In less than 10 units we will be in the 41-50 unit ($1,071.00) category!

There is no reason to say no!

Thanks for all your participation!

I connected a winch of sorts to hoist my IO-360-A1B6 out of the crate tonite and discovered that it has a Woodward governor on the back of it. This engine came off a B24 Beech Sierra. Is this governor usable in the RV-7A? Any reason to forego this governor for the PCU 5000X?

If I were to buy the PCU, anybody have any idea whether the Woodward governor would be worth anything on the used market?

Any recommendations?

Thanks to all in advance,

Noah, Here's one on ebay with 3 days to go and it is already up to $6.50!

In all seriousness, I don't know of anyone using one in an RV and unless it has a yellow tag, no one would pay any real money for it.

Soooo, either the PCU or rebuild the old Woody. Me, well I would get the PCU.

Depends on what model Woodward it is. I have a Woodward on my RV-6 for almost 10-years and 2,004 hours. Instead of paying $750 to have it overhauled, I am purchasing a new PCU-5000 in the group buy. Engine top rebuild is planned in the fall.

Cap'n John, Even the current $1100 will be a super cheap price for this excellent governor (best available in my opinion). One of the better known engine builders quoted me $1599 for this unit several months back. I hunted all over the place for a better price and the very best I could source was $1350. Thanks for setting up a really good deal. As previously advised....I'm in.

Incidentally, what many people fail to understand on group buys such as this.....is that the person setting up the group buy (YOU) ends up doing a huge amount of negotiating and communicating and emailing and monitoring.... all to save a few hundred dollars on your own governor which is the same benefit that everyone else gets. In the end it turns out to be a very big task , more like a service to the RV fraternity than a worthwhile economic pursuit. Keep up the good work.
