Folks,

I’m in the final reassembly stages after a derecho/tornado blew the hangar door in to my prop….prop is rebuilt and engine tore down for inspection.

I have found while verifying my cabling that the prop governor has 1/8” more throw than my cable. I have it set up so the fine stop matches up but it won’t go all the way coarse.
I’m kinda thinking it doesn’t matter as I don’t think I have ever had the prop that far coarse. I can get a custom made cable with the correct throw – but do I need to?

RV6A
IO360B1F6 LASAR/Injected
MTV12(B) 183-59 hydraulic CS

I’ll be sending this to the MT folks as well for their input.

It sounds like you have more than enough movement to govern below 2000 RPM – call it done.
