MT Propellor Governor

23 Sep 2012 MT Propellor Governor

There is not much to say about installing the propellor governor – it goes pretty much as described in the sheet that comes with the governor controller bracket – VA-153. I didn’t get this sheet with my kit, but Van’s sent me a PDF via email. The reason I posted all these pictures is because I couldn’t figure out what angle the va-153 should be mounted – essentially horizontal or somewhat pointing down at a 45 degree angle. After trying both, I chose to have the bracket horizontal – this works fine with the cable. This was the bit of information that I had trouble finding, but it was easy enough to figure out once the governor was mounted.

I’m not extremely proud of my safety wiring skills, but I think that the screws will stay on. I need more practice, that’s for sure.
