Sky-Tec HT series starters will feature
the industry's first self-resetting Kickback Protection
System beginning 1/1/2010.
The new HT series starters will feature a
proprietary internal drive system designed to decouple
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 HT series starters are the
industry's best value for Lycoming Powered helicopters
including:
|
Robinson R-22 (149-12HT-h) |
|
Robinson R-44 (149-24HT-h) |
|
Enstrom F28 (149-12HT or 149-24HT) |
|
and many others. |
HT series starters feature:
| Highly durable cast mount systems |
|
Fast RPM |

Take a flight around the pattern on our web. We think you'll quickly understand why nearly 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.
NO BENDIX - Bendix drives may be good for early 20th century tractors but not aircraft. Sky-Tec uses much more reliable alternatives to high maintenance and unreliable centrifugal mechanical engagement drives offered by others.
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. In addition, many models are designed to increase starting RPM by as much as 100% cutting your starting time in half - saving both battery life and wear on your engine and electrical system
Rugged Designs - Sky-Tec starters are engineered to exceed engine TBO lifetimes and withstand the toughest operating environments.
Unmatched Customer Service - We are pilots and aircraft owners too. We understand unique fit issues and can guide you through installations and troubleshooting. We sincerely like to hear from our customers. With Sky-Tec you don't have to go it alone. Our vast network of Dealers and in-house technical specialists are ready and available to help you fit, install and maintain peak performance of your Sky-Tec starter.
The leader - Ask around. Find out what starter the pilots on your field are using. Ask any Sky-Tec user what they think of their starter. Chances are you won't have to look very far to find a very satisfied Sky-Tec customer. And we promise to leave the selling to them.
