For Immediate Release

Everett, Monday, July 21, 1997:    Precision Airmotive Corporation, a leading supplier of electrical components for general aviation aircraft, is introducing its new lightweight starters to the experimental market.

Lamar permanent magnet starters represent the latest in starter technology, setting new  standards in performance and reliability. These lightweight starters deliver exceptional torque to start virtually any general aviation piston engine in nearly any environment, yet  weigh about 40 percent less than conventional starters. 

Precision’s patented permanent magnet motor design replaces the bulky windings of conventional starter motors with lightweight permanent magnets.  This revolutionary design eliminates considerable weight and results in more efficient starter operation as well as improved performance under most conditions.  During comprehensive testing, Lamar starters consistently provided faster engine starts than conventional starters under a variety of operating conditions.

Precision refers to it as the “TBO Starter” because the Lamar permanent magnet starter is built to go the distance between engine overhauls.  Conventional starters generally just do not last.  Usually they have to be pulled off for repair or replacement at least once during the life of the engine.

The Lamar Starter at a Glance:

• Patented Permanent Magnet Design
• Designed for TBO Life
• Lightweight
• Simple Direct Design
• Improved RPMs
• 1000 Hour/Two Year Warranty

Precision Aviation Products Corporation and its companies Precision Airmotive Corporation and Precision Engines Corporation are headquartered at Paine Field in Everett, Washington.  Precision companies manufacture and overhaul a variety of general aviation products such as RSA fuel injection systems, MSA carburetors, and Lamar electrical components.  Precision is a leading overhaul facility for large Pratt & Whitney and Curtiss-Wright radial reciprocating aircraft engines.  In addition, Precision overhauls Bendix pressure carburetors, Stromberg carburetors, and Bendix (DP) turbine engine fuel controls.
