Trust me. I'm not flying an airplane with unexplained power loss or a
misbehaving propeller. If you lose the left one, the right one is
sick. If you lose the right one, maybe it won't feather. (I plan on
getting old.)

I'm just trying to figure out if there is something else to look at
before things get really expensive and time consuming. (It wouldn't be
fun to pull the engine and send it out to have it turn out to be fine,
and you just can't swap them around as easily as governors. :-)).

a hand grenade with the pin pulled... Don't fly it again and send it
back... Insist they put 3 hours on the dyno after it is repaired and
that it make target HP and RPM...
