Default Jihostroj governor purchase

Anyone bought (a governor) direct from Jihostroj lately? Or more appropriately, from their web site (not sure where they ship from). Price looks good. What was the shipment time?

Product seems to have excellent performance. Anyone know of any recent issues with their product?

Thanks,

Bryan

I recently bought a Jihostroj governor from Whirl Wind, chasing a surging RPM issue. (I had an OLD governor on my plane.)

I was favorably impressed with the quality, and the instructions. Also, the body is "rotatable", meaning it is easy to retrofit to existing mounting brackets.

No more surge! Very happy.

YMMV, (but I doubt it.)

Thanks for the info. That's what I've ordered.
