One bad thing about governors, as witnessed in the turbine pilots trying
to fly a non governed ship, is if the governor fails, hey sometimes
electronics do fail, you have a real problem if you haven't practiced
flying without it and how many practice lazy pilots are out there?
All that said, I would like to have a governor when the workload gets high
like formation flying for photos, chasing coyotes at low altitude etc.
I didn't try flying the R-22 sans governor. I was having all the fun that
I wanted trying to adapt to the cyclic. The instructor, trying to be a
nice guy, told some stories about ex military pilots checking out in an
R-22 and using up quite a few hours. It did make me feel a little better.

I wouldn't want an electronic governor, mechanical is too easy, and too
reliable. When you think of it, we have all owned dozens of them. I've never
had one fail.
