212man "Actually we do!"

I don't think you are the elcted spokesperson for everyone. The HEMS unit I have contact with would dearly love to stuff their EFIS right up the ar5e(s) of the inventor(s).

Gaseous : "I suppose you think that the governor is a sissy device not for real pilots.
Take it off, chuck it away. That'll make those low timers work!"

I hear the sound of a foot being blown off. And it's not mine. The governor is a well known masker of engine malady. Some of the carb heat incidents have been made worse by the governor's ability to keep opening the throttle until there's no more. Of course, a pilot flying to the POH with a hand on the throttle would feel this happening.......but again, because there's a governor, they don't think they need to keep their hand on the throttle.
