(Paul Besing) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:57:44 AM PST US Subject: RV-List: Re: Starter: BNC or SkyTec From: "shirleyh" 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.

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 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. Paul Besing Darrell Reiley wrote: Michael, 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!!
