Introducing
Sky-Tec's ALL NEW
line of
FAA-PMA Certified
Aircraft Solenoids |
Introducing Sky-Tec's newest product
line: FAA-PMA Certified aircraft solenoids.
Finally there is a true, high-quality, high-performance FAA
CERTIFIED OE-type solenoid available for most
popular piston aircraft.
Never again will you have to use overpriced "new old
stock", questionable sources and non-certified tractor
supply store products on your certified aircraft!
And because we're Sky-Tec, you can be assured the price is
reasonable and factory support, should you ever need it, is
second to none.
Features include:
 |
Silver Tungsten-Carbide contacts for improved in-rush
capability. |
|
Engineered springs to minimizing arcing
for improved longevity |
| Original terminal locations and sizes
so changing out any solenoid is a snap |
| Sealed all-steel housing and mounting that
matches the OE mounting configurations |
|

Introducing
The ALL NEW
Sky-Tec
XLT Series
Ultra Lightweight Starters |
Introducing another world changing
event from Sky-Tec:
The newest member of the Sky-Tec
Flyweight™ starter family - the XLT series ultra
lightweight Lycoming starter.
The
XLT is now FAA PMA Certified for nearly all 4-cylinder
Lycoming engines. It's light. It's fast. And
it's TOUGH!
Like the Flyweight™ starters that
precede it, the XLT series builds on 25 years and more
than 50,000 LS and PM starters in service
world-wide. Or should we say, takes off from that
experience in the form of only 6.5 lbs. total installed
weight!
XLT series starters are PERFECT for
weight-obsessed 4-cylinder Lycoming applications
including:
| Lycoming powered Cubs |
| Lycoming powered LSA eligible
aircraft |
|
Weight obsessed Lycoming powered
Experimental aircraft |
|
and any other 4-cylinder Lycoming
powered aircraft that needs to get nearly twelve
pounds off the nose and up to twice the cranking RPM
(compared to OE heavyweight Bendix starters). |
|
Sky-Tec HT series starters now feature
the industry's first self-resetting Kickback Protection
System!
A proprietary internal drive system automatically decouples
the starter’s powerful high torque motor from the
Lycoming engine’s flywheel in the event of an ignition
kickback during startup.
The drive system automatically resets requiring
no replacement, adjustment, repair or maintenance
before or after a kickback.
The new kickback protected HT series starters are the
perfect solution for Lycoming Powered helicopters
including:
|
Robinson R-22 (149-12HT-h), |
|
Robinson R-44 (149-24HT-h), |
|
Enstrom F28 (149-12HT or 149-24HT), |
|
Schweitzer 269's (149-24HT), |
|
and many others. |
HT series starters feature:
| Highly durable cast mount systems |
|
Fast spin (no, not "too"
fast) |
| PMA eligibility to replace
Prestolite and B&C starters |
|
Light weight, and Zero maintenance. |

More than 100,000 pilots and aircraft owners like you have selected Sky-Tec starters for their aircraft. Sky-Tec's singular relentless focus is simple: offer customers the best value, best performing lightweight starters for their piston engine powered aircraft. That is all we do. And we do it quite well.
LEADERSHIP - No one sells more aircraft piston
engine starters than Sky-Tec. No one. Lycoming,
Continental, and engine rebuilders the world 'round have come
to rely on Sky-Tec performance and Sky-Tec quality - first and
foremost.
SINGULAR FOCUS | SINGULAR PASSION | TOTAL COMMITMENT -
Sky-Tec is a family company with one product line, one
obsession, and one commitment: to develop, manufacture, sell
and support the world's best aircraft piston engine
starters. We are in this for the long-haul. And
our future depends on ALL Sky-Tec customers being
satisfied. Your satisfaction is our singular goal each
and every day.
RELENTLESS PURSUIT - Sky-Tec starters may be the
best Lycoming and Continental engine customers can buy, but
Sky-Tec believes its starters can be even better. That
is why we continuously analyze, research, engineer, test,
prove and improve all of our starter designs. After all,
we did say "obsession" (above)
EXPERIENCE - Sky-Tec's Partners have more than
125 years combined experience in product development,
engineering, auto electric, manufacturing, sales, marketing
and customer support. Sky-Tec enjoys supplier
relationships dating back more than 30 years.
SENSIBLE APPROACH - Sky-Tec uses simple,
affordable technologies in everything we do using electro-mechanical engagement drives,
not centrifugal, throw-and-pray Bendix-type drives on all Lycoming starters and starter adapter
friendly decoupling clutch mechanisms on Continental
starters. Whenever appropriate, Sky-Tec starters use its
exclusive simple, reliable, maintenance-free KPS (Kickback
Protection System). And everything we do is geared
toward sensible affordability, quality and value.
Flyweight™ - Don't confuse weight with power. Sky-Tec starters actually offer BOTH: Light weight AND high torque.
It's how we
roll.
High Torque - Sky-Tec starters utilize significant gear reduction methods to produce a vast increase in available
torque and optimum cranking rotation speed. Let no one
mislead you by saying Sky-Tec starters spin "too
fast." Sky-Tec dials-in every starter to crank at
the optimum cranking speed for the application. On
Lycoming applications, RPM is increased by 2X and sometimes
even more over heavyweight OEM starters. On Continental
starters, slow and steady wins the race - our friends at
Continental helped us dial our starters in at just the right
RPM for reliably starting Continental engines.
Rugged Designs - Sky-Tec starters are engineered to exceed engine TBO lifetimes and withstand the toughest operating environments.
Unmatched Customer Service -
And if a starter happens to not make it past engine TBO, we
roll up our sleeves and get your starter back in service
better than anyone. Sky-Tec understands how to take care
of customers who happen upon a problem and we also know how to
swallow our pride and take care of our customers when
something Sky-Tec did contributed to the problem. When
"it" happens, we get to work and take care of our
customers.
Personal & In Touch -
We are pilots and aircraft owners too. We understand fitment,
performance and troubleshooting issues. And we can
help. If you have a question, contact
us. If you have a problem, contact
us. If you have feedback, contact
us.
