Brian, did you get your PCU 5000 through my group buy back in the day?
They are awesome guvs, eh?
Vlad, I told you to look into them!

Only issue is, it could use a slightly longer control arm, which I have made Hartzell aware of.
No CJ,
I bought it used from Jerry Morris.
A little more analysis.
1. The Hartzell S series governors have a bench tested ~30% more pumping capacity against the competitors. This reduces RPM surging and hunting, which typically occurs in hot conditions.
2. Designed and manufactured in the US.
3. Supporters of the RV community to include this site and our team.
4. Top shelf customer service you read about here on this site often.
5. 1000hr 1yr warranty.
6. 2400hr TBO
7. Lightest governor offered by Hartzell ? 2.9 lbs
8. 60 years of governor experience.
9. Did I mention they support this site and our team?
You should take the time to review the competitive analysis, and when able, you should support those companies that are here supporting you. Buy a Hartzell.
And I did in fact get it in the group buy several years ago. It always worked perfect.
Pay it forward..

Kahuna, does this translate directly into 30% faster response?
I have a pcu5000 and whirlwind 200RV. Due to the very light prop the governor is slow to govern and it is very easy to overspeed on takeoff. I haven't called yet to see if there is any way to improve response, but I doubt it.

David,
Glad to hear it!
It has been quite a while since! I cannot wait to actually use mine!

CJ-
I was in on your group buy. I couldn't be happier with combination of the PCU5000 and the Whirlwind propeller.
Every time I see the subject of this thread I think Vlad is crossing the pond to visit the UK.
Mikey, THAT'S RIGHT!
I forgot you were in on that one!
Weren't you in on my Hooker Harness buy too?
