Who are you refering to? American Prop?rvmike said:I don't want to be a naysayer, but a friend had his engine rebuilt by these guys. There was zero service and lie after lie to fix the problems after the build. I think a bunch of homework is due before anybody sends these guy's $$.
What is your friend's name? What was the name of the person he was dealing with?rvmike said:I don't want to be a naysayer, but a friend had his engine rebuilt by these guys.

Noah said:OK, This sounds like a great deal on a great gov'nuh, but if I order the FWF kit from Vans, doesn't it come with the MT governor? Or will Vans remove the governor (and adjust the price accordingly) if I don't want the MT? Has anybody determined what the price adjustment would be for a FWF kit without the MT?
Since nobody has asked this seemingly obvious question, am I missing something, or do most builderse forego the FWF kit and just buy the parts a-la-carte?

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.Noah said: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,

Doug, How about putting this up on the front page for the last week of the group buy?

Mike F said:I just talked to her this morning and they were up to 69 sold. In addition, she took a credit card instead of a check for the remaining balance of $496. Total price was $1071 plus 25 for shipping (drop shipped from the factory).
RV8iator said:Nicole got me finished as well. As an added benefit of this post I was introduced to the nice folks at American Propeller and I have since ordered a new constant speed prop for my 8. Talk about not being able to wait for all the parts to arrive. Ordered my new throttle quadrant and misc. parts from Vans today.
Captain_John said:I am glad everyone is pleased.
I just got off the horn with Bob Honig and it seems that we topped 75 units in all!
Thanks All!!!
