Anyone have feedback on the B&C lightweight starter vs the Skytec -NL model? Performance, weight, fit issues, etc? Thanks in advance.

Most people who use the NL seem to have been satisfied. On the -10, I'm going with the B&C, just because I got a good deal on it. I don't think you'll go wrong with either one.

I just got 2 of the NL's last year. They both work better than the LS and PM. Tim > On Oct 22, 2017, at 9:17 AM, wrote: > > > I have the NL on my RV-6 and have been very pleased.

The original used a shear pin, which could not be replaced without removal of the starter.

Mine were from 2017, and I've unboxed 3 of them this year, and every one of them came with a shear pin glued to the top under the boss mount. I do know that they advertise a new Kickback Protection System, but I do believe it's still a shear pin and since it's glued to the boss mount, I can't see it being replaced without removal of the starter. It does say: "Kickback Protection System (KPS) with field-replaceable shear pin" ... on their website. Perhaps we are supposed to cut out the pin and keep it in the plane? If that were the case though, why would they just not attach it to the starter in a ziploc bag like they do the star washers? So, I think even the current one requires a shear pin. That said, I've never had a kickback issue with any of the starters over all of these years, so I'm not sure I'd worry too much about it, if you have a well configured ignition system.

[image: Inline image 4][image: Inline image 5] I use them on my alternate air knob, and I pull it once a year to make sure it works. If anybody wants some, just send me a PM with an address and I'll send you an envelope full.

I almost didn=99t once, bu t it ended up being done right. So I=99m not of the opinion that from a service/support perspective they are bad. Maybe some people have other e xperiences. My worst experience was that if you simply call and hope someon e will answer, chances are they won=99t....but if you leave a voice me ssage, you get a prompt response. I don=99t usually leave VM=99 s so it took me a few calls to actually get connected once Tim > On Oct 22, 2017, at 8:25 PM, Don McDonald wrot e: > > Just an FYI.

The Field wire broke off on my Plane Po wer 60Amp in my RV10. The Alternator was brand new and had about 10 hours on it. They were not interested and wouldn't even tell me what type of plug is used so that I could buy another and fix it myself. Which is of course what I ended up doing.
