To control the propeller and interface with the pilot, there are different governors & regulators solutions for the Constant Speed GLORIEUSE propeller range.
1- E-Props Governors & Cylinder
2- Potentiometer
3- Instrument
4- Single Lever (coming soon)
5- Adaptation to other brands of Governors & Regulators
1- E-Props Governors & Cylinder
E-Props Governors
2 different solenoid E-Props valves:
- 1 for Rotax configuration
2 (not hydraulic equipped)
Rotax 912ULS2 (Configuration 2) means: the propeller shaft in the gearbox is not set up for hydraulic governor for constant speed
(Large bore hole through center). It is the most common and the less expensive version of Rotax 4-stroke engines.
- 1 for Rotax configuration
3 (hydraulic equipped)
Rotax 912ULS3 (Configuration 3) means: the propeller shaft has a small bore on end allowing oil from the governor to reach the
constant speed propeller. This version is less common and more expensive than the verson 2.
Positioned behind the gearbox.

2- Potentiometer
Potentiometer
Easy to use. For panels that don't have room enough for an additional instrument.
Diameter = 30 mm
Weight = 35 g
If you have not enough place on the control panel, and RPM/PA indications on your own display.
3- Instrument
E-PROPS "Constant Speed" specific instrument, designed and manufactured by E-PROPS, adapted for GLORIEUSE in-flight variable pitch
propellers range.
RPM adjustment potentiometer, intake pressure,
Diameter = 57 mm (2.24 inch)
Weight = 70 g
Automatic over-torque and over-rpm protection
Setting via Bluetooth => see page
Parameters setting - GLORIEUSE propeller
High readability screen
Developped by E-Props especially for the Constant Speed Propellers range.
The best solution to control the propeller for a high reactivity.

4- Single Lever
The Single Lever is being developed by the team of the E-Props design office.
An option E-Props will provide soon. Very simple, not need to have RPM/PA indications (same as in big aircraft)
5- Adaptation to other brands of Governors & Regulators
It is possible to use the GLORIEUSE propellers with other brands of Governors & Regulators.
Only an E-Props cylinder must be used.
The tuning of the GLORIEUSE propeller with other Governors and Regulators will be the responsibility of the customer.
Price of the Cylinder (ref CC3hp) for other brands of Hydraulic Governors & Regulators (not E-Props) = 400 €
But why choose another system ? :-)
Other governors and regulators (not E-Props) are much heavier and less responsive, with a shorter and more expensive TBO.
