Hello Guys and Gals,
My Jihistoj governor has a return spring that returns the prop control to high rpm/low pitch in the event of a prop cable failure. However this feature is quite annoying. While flyiing formation or doing aerobatics (basically anytime I'm moving the throttle in other than normal cruise) I like to keep the quadrant friction quite low or even off. When I do this the prop lever moves forward and increases rpm due to the spring. I am tempted to take the spring off. Anyone, have any other suggestions before I remove this obvious safety feature. Do other governors incorporate a returm spring? Thanks!
Jerry
