Governor for a DV20-Katana

Post by astaib »

Hello,

I write in this section for a friend that has a DV20 Katana from 1993 and he need to replace the prop governor, but it seems that it is very difficult for him to get one here in France as spare part.

Do you have an idea of where it can be available to order? USA or any overseas is the target.

Thank you!!

Arnaud.

This place can apparently overhaul them:

They list it as a Woodward governor, I suppose that Woodward may have made them for Hoffman...

Hi Steve,

This was also my guess when I googled the ref.
I asked it to Woodward in parrallel, maybe they have cheaper price than Hoffmann.

The context is that this DV20 belongs to a club and the governor was sent by the mechanic to Hoffmann in Germany 8 weeks ago and they still have no feedback. The plane cannot stay like this because the club needs it for school; so the club is thinking about buying a new one to make it faster (depending on the price).
As they have no idea about where to buy, what to do, they asked me to help (my plane is hangared in their hangar).

If Hoffmann didn't start the OH, I will collect it and send it to qaa (is they have suitable delays).

Thanks.

Arnaud.
