Master and Starter Relays

[N601RX]

Sky tech now has a line of both master and starter relays that are pma approved for most Mooney models. The price seems very reasonable compared to the previous options. $69

That is really cheap.  Just wish I knew about this three years ago, or was it four?  Anyway, the first one lasted fifty years; I'm thinking I should be good for another fifty now.

Those are Stancor 70 series DC. contactors. Sky Tec just puts stickers on them.

No doubt.

Kudos to Sky-Tec for getting them PMA'ed, though.

And not even doubling the price!

And the last time I checked, the factory continuous duty master relay was something like $400.  

$89 is a TON better.

Per sky-tec

"Sky-Tec has once again simply done what makes common sense.  In this case, we simply replicated the best OE solenoids using all new tooling and the highest quality materials to ensure the industry has access to exacting the real thing:  aviation (not automotive) solenoids that fit and wire the same as the originals did.  The terminals are the right size and in the right place and the internals are high quality and built to take the beating that only our smaller piston-engine aircraft can dish out.  We also enhanced inrush capability to ensure maximum performance with Sky-Tec high torque, lightweight starters."
