Prop Governor Surging

New Bug: When the oil temperature is high (over about 195deg.) the propeller governor is unable to maintain a stable propeller RPM on takeoff. It doesn’t over speed, but does fluctuate almost 300 rpm lower. Just a wee bit alarming on climb-out. This is a known possible condition of the MT governor that I was “hoping” that we didn’t have. No such luck apparently after 47hrs. I’m not going to even mess with MT to resolve it. It seems the concrete fix is a new PCU500X governor. I’ll get one ordered on Monday.
