But it takes about 20 sec. from high to low rpm... Without electricity it will stay where it is... I think the reason for the standard low pitch position is, that engines "normally" won't fail. The failure of the govenour occures more often, so you have the maximum performance possible in such a condition... Rudolf Winter 235 D-EHAR
