Steve and I had the B & C starter installed in our Tiger quite a bit ago. He could give you more about installation, costs etc. Sometimes the engine turns over with two blades..... such little drain on the battery even on the coldest of days. I'd highly recommend it ! I have used the B & C starter in a number of aircraft and can highly recommend them, although not cheap they are great, as Neita says starts within 2 blades turning over plus they go on for ever, contact Bill Bainbridge at B & C on 316 283 8662 and give him my regards from down under. I put one on my 75 Tiger last year and I am pleased with the results. You will have to modify the starter/alternator strap, and the baffling on the front will have to be filed some in two places to make sufficient room for the new B&C starter. You will also have to add some baffling seal to the pilot's side to close off air bypass. How does it work? Great. First time one of the Grumman Guru mechanics got in the plane and I went to start it they had two remarks. I had no compression in any cylinder (which was why the props spun so fast) My alternator was starting to fail (since when the engine started, it didn't go over to 35 or 40 amps charge after starting) it just went to about 20. It allows me to start my plane on a 10 degree day with no preheat (turn over about as fast as a normal starter in warm weather) and mineral oil (40W). During normal weather, you can even start it on just the right mag (should you ever need to do that). It is quite a comfort. Also should you not start, the starter drive is not left against the ring gear. I give it a high rating. For 580 dollars US you get the STC, and considering what a rebuild Lycoming starter sells for, the diffe rence is worth it. Plus you save 11 pounds. SO have those extra pizzas.

"Loving my B&C oil filter!
Put the B&C oil filter on my Pitts S2B. Installation was no problem and the fit was excellent. Makes a lot more sense than the Air wolf since it doesn't have additional lines and fittings that could be subjected to G-forces."

Thanks!

"I've had several occasions to call your company regarding previous orders. Every time, I get a human rather than a recorded phone menu and that human has been helpful and competent. Makes me wonder what planet I've contacted. Don't you people realize this is 2002?"

"Thank you Debbie!
You and B&C have been one of the best, most helpful companies to deal with during my three year build!"

Thanks again,
Mark, Washington

"Thank you very much for your offer of help and your concern for your customers.  Kind of rare now days.  I will surely order from B&C again!"
