Darwin referred to Sky Tec when he started this thread, how did Surefly get in the mix???

Or, did one of them spin off from the other???

Locked, not user configurable. I am promised a map and manual after OSH. Does have a few nice features.

Link works now. Interesting they are RIGHT in P-mag's backyard!

Saw At Oshkosh
 
I visited Sure-Fly booth at Oshkosh today. Units look first rate externally. TT on 4-cylinder prototype unit is 200 hrs, only 30 hrs on 6-cylinder. About $1500 for the 6-cylinder version. Zero advance at start, 25 degrees at idle, up to 38 degrees at lower manifold pressures. Timing slightly adjustable by rotating unit as done with mag. Company is shipping now.

I like the concept of all in one unit. Electroair requires three.

Not much info on the web page, practically none except a coupe of videos of a plane running and flying on one. I was able to glean from the address they are next door to SkyTec, so we might deduce they are at least associated with
them. Too bad they're not next door to B&C.

As a B&C fan you got a chuckle out of me Tim.

My mix up
 
They are all next to each other with 3 booths together. I may have gotten the name wrong. I was talking to all of them and I guess I just lumped them together.

You were not entirely wrong. The Skytec starter and Plane Power alternator product lines have been sold to Hartzell Technologies. The "old" Skytec crew is now in the electronic ignition business. As you can imagine, the two groups have been spending time together.

Dan has it correct, the Skytec team has sold the starter and previously sold plane power to Hartzell. Same guys have the new electronic ignition. Expect the same top quality product this team supplied for years with the other two products.

I spent some time today at the SureFly booth. Very nice product, I am sure there is one coming soon to my 7A.
