I thought this was interesting because all of the indications from all the shop talkers in my world were that Woodwards are no good and you can't rebuild them anyway because there are no more parts. Well this guy says he thinks they're a better governor and he doesn't know understand why people think they can't be rebuilt.

Well in any case, does anybody have any experience with aircraft accessories of oklahoma?

Don't use overhauled parts? That's just crazy. What about engines? If everyone had to buy new engines and appliances, general aviation would collapse.

I've heard over the decades that Woodward governors are better, and that's from governor overhaul people. To what degree they are better was not stated, however, so I wouldn't spend a bunch of money to switch from McCauley to Woodward. On the the other hand, if I had a Woodward that needed to be overhauled, I wouldn't switch as long as parts were available for it.

I've had very good luck with Aircraft Accessories, so I don't hesitate to recommend them.

This is confidence inspiring. Thanks.

For posterity:

• new gov from McCauley: 4300
• rebuilt McCauley from QAA or AAO: 2300, 1k core.
• rebuilt Woodward 210443 from AAO: 1800, 300 core

There is also a newer Woodward that supercedes 210443 for a little bit more. AAO and a few other sources opined that Woodwards are a little better than the Mccauley units, but didn't elaborate on how.

I went with the 210443.

5 of our Skymasters had McCauleys 1 had Woodward on it. We had to overhaul the McCauleys every 5 years. Woodward were overhauled at engine TBO.
