The LS/PM models are the flagship of the Sky-Tec product family. They are identical to each other in composition and performance, however LS models have the solenoid located toward the left side of the aircraft and the PM models have the solenoid located toward the right side of the aircraft. Select the right model for your aircraft based on the location of accessories around your starter using the fit guide. When unsure, purchase the High-Torque Inline starter - it WILL fit!
