My Superior O360 was delivered with a Skytech lightweight starter. At around 10
hours of operation, I noticed chipped teeth on the ring gear. A couple of starts
later it jammed completely. Replaced the ring gear, had engineer check everything...
next two starts chipped the new ring gear.
Installed borrowed B&C and returned original starter to Skytech. Now over 50 hours,
and 7 months later, no contact from Skytech and the old B&C has never missed
a beat. YMMV

The B&C starter does not clear the induction air duct for the front
mounted servo. It may be possible modify the fibreglas duct to fit
around the B&C starter.

Everyone might want to keep in mind that Chuck was asking for a
comparison of the series wound starters NOT the PM style. While a lot
of people have had problems with the PM Skytec's, I don't know of anyone
that has had a problem with the SW.

Michael,
That's true. But I have a PM Skytec and would like to know if I can directly
replace it with one of the wound rotor starters. I have already been told in
this thread that the B&C will not fit my front servo fuel injected IO-360 FAB
induction box. Now the question is, will the Skytec wound rotor Inline
starter fit the induction box without modification?
Sorry if this is too far off topic, Chuck. You know there are no simple
answers!
Thanks,

If I were you I would call B&C and ask them. They are an
excellent company with a good product and good service.

Where you located? Maybe someone around you that has a SW they
haven't installed yet can come by and help you find out. I said earlier
that I don't know of anyone that has had a problem with the Skytec NL
but I would be interested in hearing if someone has.

I've been watching the comments, though I'm looking at my decision in
the rear view mirror. It seems the SkyTec is a good new product and the
B&C is a good old product. Both things being (almost) equal, I bought a
B&C, though I'm sure either would have done equally well. I'll be glad
to get rid of the Lamar PM starter for all the reasons discussed--not a
Lamar problem as much a PM problem. In a Velo, with the battery in the
tippy-nose and the engine in the...well I guess there is no tail---but
way back there---there's little point in having the big inrush for a PM
starter running through a long wire to spin the 540. Fortunately, there
are no clearance problems so I'm hoping I'm good to go. Thanks though,
for the feed back by all.

I live in North Central Indiana near Kokomo. My airplane is at 8I3 -- Kokomo
Glenndale. I am not ready to change starters yet anyway, so no rush.

| Subject: | Re: Austin-area airport recommendations? |
I regularly fly out of GTU. It's really not that busy. Yes, they are getting
a control tower, but everyone who flies there are pretty safe. A flight school,
and some charter planes now and then. Gas prices are ok, no food on the field.
No tie down fees. Hangars are a premium there, but I never really looked
into an of the RV's that may be in the area. Otherwise, if it's near your destination,
it's a good airport. Crossing runways, all in great condition, etc.

I would use the Taylor Airport. Close in to North
Austin and Round Rock area, less traffic auto and
plane wise, RV's are on the field, small town
atmosphere, very... very good AVgas fuel prices and
Excellent BBQ!!
