Sky-Tec 122-12LS Flyweight™ Starter for Textron Lycoming Engines (FAA-PMA Approved)

According to our detailed calculations and estimations, Sky-Tec is hands down the top provider of aircraft engine starters, and that is why we proudly sell Sky-Tec aircraft replacement parts at SkyGeek.com !

They call these “Flyweight starters” because they are ultra light at just 7.8 pounds and also ultra light in price compared to other models. They have twice the spin of heavier OEM starters which allows you to have faster, easier starts even with a hot engine. These high torque, FAA PMA certified Sky-Tec starters (the 12 volt LS version is shown here) are built with permanent magnet motors that provide consistently reliable performance. Specifically made for Lycoming engines.

First of all, these great starters have no Bendix, which means you won’t have to worry about future problems related to Bendix drives. Sky-Tec Flyweight Starters also have a low overhaul cost (about $150) and a ten pound weight savings over comparable models. The 122-12LS Sky-Tec Original Flyweight Starter also has a starter solenoid for experimental aircraft applications.
