|
Mary Leader and Trevor Wilcock's
Binder Smaragd, a German variant of
the Piel Emeraude |
Rich Brazell's newly
completed

|
From the "customers who make us
sick" category...
Outdoor writer Tony Dawson gets around
Alaska with his
SuperCub (started by Sky-Tec) and his
fishin' pole.
Tony sent in these pics when we were
in our 52nd straight day
of 100+ degree temps in
Texas. Some people...

A darned fine flying machine.
Sensible? A bonanza could go nearly as fast
with 2-4 more seats to boot. But cool? Yeah
- James Bond cool. |
|
Aint this cool:

's
Lycoming-powered airboat.
Sky-Tec customers don't all fly at the
same flight levels.

Wendell Green visits the factory in
his Wing Derringer D-1
2-Place, Twin Engine
IO-320's. 185 KTs. <15 gph.
|
Gene Fulmer flew his '46 Champ to
visit the factory. Pictures cannot do this plane
justice.
O-200 and 10+ in and out.
What a flying machine! Oh, did
we mention a Sky-Tec KCST2 starter too? |
Gene McNeely (Aeroshell T-6 Aerobatic
Team Pilot and all-around great guy)
sporting an AEIO-390-powered RV-8
(does
this guy ever fly boring aircraft? Sheesh!) |
Jim Wheat's Seattle-based
470-powered
Stinson 108-3 on Floats |

floats, Crosswinds Stol leading edge, VG's.............. |
George
Millar's 150HP PA-16 (Clipper) on EDO 2000's (we want
one!)
|
So we're suckers for a Sky-Tec
starter on floats. Can you blame
us?
We're from TEXAS! |
Okay, this is going to take some
getting used to.
Now that we're building Rotax
starters, I suppose we should expect to see more of
these like Reidar Olsen's Norwegian Trike. |
 Reidar Olsen's Norwegian
Trike is an Apollo Delta
Jet. I knew nothing about them. Then I found
the videos on this
site. Be sure to watch the
"New Mexico" video! |

High-Torque Inline

and an incredible
paint scheme! |
 Lauran
Paine, Jr.'s RV-8 "After seven years of building and with a Sky-Tec starter, it
flies!" |
Sky-Tec Race Team Texoma 125
Every now and then, even our
team
can't say no to a race.
|
Central Airlines counts on Sky-Tec to
start their huge fleet of Twin Commanders. Hmmm,
these starters must work pretty good for them to own
this many! |
Alex DeDominicis visits the factory in
his beautiful RV (next visit will be in his new RV-10!) |
Rob Irvine's Bush Hawk
|
 Skip
Stewart rocks 'n rolls with his Sky-Tec NL starter under

|

We are.
|
Frank Chenevert's new Panzl built Staudacher S330 -
Nice Paint!
Many more photos of this coming to an
EAA Publication near you! |
So, Kirby Chambliss calls us one day...
|
...seems Kirby Chambliss' (other brand) starter
wasn't cutting the mustard (a phrase we don't fully
understand but this isn't the place to discuss). A
Sky-Tec NL starter took care of all his starting
issues. |
Ruh-Roh!
Sean Tucker punches out at 8,000' but
not after agonizing over the impending loss of the
Oracle Challenger - and his Sky-Tec starter! |

Folis
Jones' Poosemoth Speedwing (err, isn't that a Murphy
Renegade?) |
We questioned Folis on his use
of a beer can but we were corrected when he informed us
it is in fact "the end of a Guinness Irish Stout
container." - our bad... |
It's great to see where those starters end up.
Here's Richard Fiser's 182. ST3 starter.
Nice ride.

Reeves' Sexy Lancair First Engine START (brought to you
by Sky-Tec, of course ; ) |
Steve Stavrakakis just joined the Sky-Tec team.
A 149-NL starter cranks his toys (both) pictured
|
|
| Did
we mention Sean D Tucker keeps pretty good company these
days? (we don't make starters for the heavy hardware by
the way)... |
