No, they are not any more "complicated". Just more sensitive.

I will ad, that I agree keeping the Hz under control is important, but as long as you understand what you have, it shouldn't be an issue. No different than the old Pincore units, or a tractor driven PTO generator.
Basically what I was thinking also. I could not imagine Pincor telling people they needed to move a spring on their governor arm to use the gen set. The one thing I was thinking is the extra horsepower "I know it's only 1" might aid in this also. Little less drag so maybe will recover a little quicker. Anyway, like I said , I could see this being an issue if I were running full 5500 watts to my fridge, 65" plasma, and computer. I promise you all, it will never be used by me in that way. If I ever sell it, it will come with a stern warning.
