RE: Hartzell prop governor not working with MT Propeller
…Richard Connell PIREP
I may be able to dig it out of the original engine log files. I do have all of it saved down.
I couldn’t be sure. But I feel like more than 2 but less than 5.
...What you could also try is removing the governor and installing a blanking plate over the pad with one hole. Then use shop air to pressurize the circuit to move the blades to coarse pitch. It dosent take much 30-40PSI is fine.
...I did this when I was installing my cowl to make sure I had plenty of clearance between the TE of the fat Hartzell blades and the front of the cowl.
