New Upgraded Starter Motor Is Installed

Permanent magnet type starter is now installed. It's much smaller than the original and its weight is cut by half. A bit of $$$$$$$$$.
Its great feature is it has a solenoid, which holds power till the pinion gear gets fully engaged into the ring gear. It's so common among automobiles, but not airplanes!!!!
Because of the solenoid, the front buffle plate had to be modified. I temporalily lockwired them, and flew to Crosland Aviation at Langley Airport.

So, this time again; I took Bike Friday foldable bike in the airplane, planning to ride home from Langley. I'm proud of this kind of self sufficient transportation.
BTW, this is the first photo of GUS at Pitt Meadows (Aero Club).
