 Got a question?...

 

 

Mr. Bryan Boyle of Valley Forge, PA took a moment to send us the following note:

 

 

"In my opinion, this was one of the best investments I have ever made.  Lots of Piper owners...have to do the Piper "bumpstart". Not anymore.  On the piper Cherokee email group on Yahoo, my mantra is clear: ditch the old tech. and go Sky-Tec.  Everyone I've pushed in that direction, without fail has come back with the same paraphrased comment: 'best damn investment in getting my plane to turn over I've made...  Congrats, folks. You have some great products, and I'm proud to let folks know what's starting my Cherokee up these days."  

 

Gary L. Hicks, Head of Purchasing for Florida-based Ari Ben Aviator Flight School sent the following note to our Repair Station:

 

 

"This starter is from one of our first 12V planes converted to Sky-Tec High-Torque Inline Lycoming model NL starters.  It has more than 2000 hours time in service.  Previous to  converting this aircraft to Sky-Tec starters, this aircraft went through more than 16 starters annually whereas our Sky-Tec NL starters now take us past engine T.B.O. We are dyed-in-the-wool Sky-Tec customers for life.  Sky-Tec's performance, reliability and service are second to none.  No one will ever convince us to use any other brand starter - period."

Nearly Here:  Extended Cranking 24V High-Torque Inline to Offer Even Greater Durability

 

equipped

"The standard NL has all but eliminated starter problems on our training fleet.  But the tweaks you've made to the 24v NL/ec are off the charts!  Even the most distracted student can't hurt the NL/ec on our 24v aircraft.  Sky-Tec should be charging twice as much for this starter.  
It's that good." 

- Head of Maintenance, 
Arizona-based flight training company

 

Okay, some of you have asked for it.  Now here it is:
A 24 volt (only) version of the #1 selling High-Torque Inline NL Model Lycoming starter delivering all the benefits of the original plus a duty cycle for even the most abusive aircraft and environments:  24V Navajo's w/ -D(ual mag) engines, flight schools with, shall we say "improving" pilot operators, air carriers with abusive quick turn hot starts - here's the last starter you'll need to install.    Read more...

 

Of course we're offering an upgrade.  For a limited time, we will upgrade your 149-NL, 149-NLR or 122-NL starter to the equivalent new /ec starter for a modest upgrade charge.  But don't wait.  Contact Rich today to arrange your customize trade-up program.
