Hello,

I'm new here and just bought a 2005 Super Decathlon. It was very windy the day that I bought it and took the tailwheel transition course. Flying it home afterwards in smooth air I noticed a distinct feeling of the airplane surging, the engine gauges (tach/mp) read steady.

I have suspected and have sent off the prop governor to MT (the airplane has the MT 3 blade).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks,

Tom
 
That is usually the case. We use http://www.pcu5000.com/ currently. Although MT has said they have changed the springs and fixed the issue. You will find out soon enough if they did. :D
 
I took off the governor and sent it to MT, they sent it back the next day with updated mods (mod-E). So far it is working perfectly and the airplane flys and performs great with the 3 blade prop.

Thanks for your help, I will bookmark the page that you copied for future reference.
