Many people believes that propeller governor located inside spinner. It is WRONG. You will see if you see real one. this is the propeller governor of Piper Seminole(PA44). It is located in front of the engine. and it is mounted sideway. Piper Seneca(PA34), Beechcraft Baron(BE55) also have governor here.
The picture below is the governor of Piper Arrow(PA28R-201). It is mounted back of the engine sideway. You can see the rod which is controlled from cockpit to change the setting. Most of the airplane has the governor on either front or back of engine.

Missing wing?
What's happened? Some parts of the wing are missing!
But, don't worry. That part is removed for the maintenance. What the mechanics removed was fuel tank. This type of fuel tank is called " integral tank" which constitute a part of wing.
It is very convenient for the maintenance. It is easy to remove and easy to install.
The picture below is the tank itself. It is placed upside down. There is a fuel drain valve from which you drain the fuel during pre-flight inspection.
