Did anyone have to adjust the low pitch stop on the prop from Van's to get the 2700 RPM? or was the entire adjustment in the governor?

David,
I don't know if this will help but this was the response I got from MT about setting the governor and low speed RPM.
Rick Sked
40185
"All P-860-( ) governors are basically the same. The - ( ) number only refers
to the control arm position and the max. rpm of the governor. To change the
control arm, loosen the 6 screws, turn the entire center portion to the
desired position, tighten the 6 screws and safety.
To change max rpm the set screw on the high rpm stop is turned
counterclockwise (out) to increase rpm and clockwise (in) to decrease rpm.
If there is not enough adjustment possible ( 1 turn = 25 rpm) the control
arm must be reset on the spline one notch at the time.
All this can be done on the plane.
To have MT Propeller USA, Inc. modify the governor max. rpm would cost
approx. $100.00, unfortunately the control arm position must be adjusted on
the plane"

If memory serves me right I was only getting 2500 RPM. I had to reset my arm one spline. I made a reference mark, took the screw adjustment up to close to the reference mark, and then screwed it out each flight, until I got to the desired RPM.

I believe all the 10's I built where around 2550-2600 out of the box, I just mark the arm and shaft and move the arm one spline.

If Van's Aircraft sold the P-860-5 governor for the wide deck Lycoming IO-540 engine, you wouldn't even be having this discussion.
The P-860-3 governor is for the narrow deck Lycoming IO-540 engine, which has a different gear ratio to the front mounted governor.

Jim Ayers

Yup.....Jim has the correct info in that!! No surprise. Curious.....How many narrow decks are out there?...ummmm NOT MANY!! It's a Dutch think I think, and an ignorance thing on us builders...not so ignorant now though.

Thanks

Dick,
It is...Here as I posted before is the response from MT USA direct from their resident expert and this guy really knows his stuff.

to the control arm position and the max. rpm of the governor. To change the

Hi Dick,
I received the following comment from MT Propeller in Germany.
"(The) Best way is to send it (the governor) to MT USA as they do it (the adjustment) on the test bench. UPS Ground is not expensive and the better way. In the operating & Installation manual of the governor (it) is stated on page 12 that the modification must be done at an authorized service shop."
Additionally, because of the spring loading, the MT Propeller factory is concerned about the customer loosing track of the position of the splined shaft when the control lever is removed.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

Except, why is Van's Aircraft STILL only selling the MT governor for the NARROW DECK IO-540 engine? Van's Aircraft only sells new WIDE DECK IO-540 engines.
I want to know Why they are still also ONLY selling the 2 blade Hartzell prop when Hartzell has composite blades that work just as well if not better (at a higher cost)..
granted none of this is good for MT but I would like to see the composite Hartzell and give Jim the business directly for MT, which one needs to do anyway.
Oregonians, walk over and put some pressure on Van's to update their prop selections.. please!!

You should have gone to the RV-10 dinner last weekend, I just happen to know who is testing the new 2 blade composite Hartzell prop on a RV-4.
Extremely smooth, much lighter, and it looks and sounds cool.

I am still gathering data on the prop, should have it in another week or so. I am currently flying the flight director, autopilot interface, and weather. We currently have six full time engineers and four of them are only working on software.

At the Pacific NW RV-10 Builder Dinner, Rob Hickman was displaying his test bed Hartzell prototype 2 blade Scimitar II Composite prop on is RV-4. I am sure he is under a gag order but I stole a Hi-Res picture (which has been Matronic neutered here). The identification on each blade read "Des. No. N7605-2X.

The MT Propeller factory in Germany recommends sending the governor to the MT Propeller rep in Florida. (This is a what is best for everyone answer. Everyone is assured of getting a governor set up for their engine.)
The MT Propeller rep in Florida provided information for those people that want to try to do this themselves. As they are getting the aircraft ready for Phase 1 testing. (Like there's nothing better to do? )
Now we've both said it twice.
Except, why is Van's Aircraft STILL only selling the MT governor for the NARROW DECK IO-540 engine? Van's Aircraft only sells new WIDE DECK IO-540 engines.

Rick Sked, Deems Davis and Les Kearney all exceeded the 1,000 miles from home rule to make the dinner. The Hickman's were gracious hosting the event. All things are possible for the Fall get to gather.
Still LOL.

Haha, gone to a dinner 1000 miles away? .. you crack me up [img]cid:image001.gif(at)01C8B78B.0C46E8D0[/img]. By the way, thanks for sponsoring it.
Any performance difference noticed? climb, cruise, etc.. with the composite prop?
Any updates (unofficially) on the DECK and future plans for it's expanded capabilities?
Thanks!

"I want to know Why they are still also ONLY selling the 2 blade Hartzell prop when Hartzell has composite blades that work just as well if not better (at a higher cost).."
You should have gone to the RV-10 dinner last weekend, I just happen to know who is testing the new 2 blade composite Hartzell prop on a RV-4.
Extremely smooth, much lighter, and it looks and sounds cool.
