Thought I would pass this along as it may help someone down the road. Nearly 15 years ago, I purchased (9) 4/4 x 6 x 16ft spar grade Sitka Spruce boardsfrom McCormick Lumber. Three of the nine were adjacent cuts from the sametree! Grain is nearly perfectly vertical and does not runout more than in thefull 16. Needless to say, I was a little worried about scrapping one of thesebeauties!After planing the spars to thickness this last weekend, I needed to establish astraight edge to then rip them to width. Three of the four had about 5/8 of cupalong their 16 length. As you may already know, wrangling 16 boards for edging(jointing) is not a fun jobespecially having only a 4 jointer table. Beingone to always try to minimize outside services, the following is how I overcamethis issue. Starting with the boards laying on a flat 16 surface, I ran a tight string (20#fishing line) full length of the boards and raised up on blocks of wood at eachend. I transferred the line established by the tight string to the face ofthe board using a sharp pencil and a square(just touching the string) in a dozenplaces along the length of the board. I then used a 5 straight edge clampedto the board at the proper setback distance to guide my router (with a straightroughing bit) to clean up a 4ft section at a time. Moving down in (3) moresetups, I was able to route a perfectly straight face 16 long. Taking my time,I finished all (4) spars in about two hours. Final test was putting two boardsedge to edge.not even 1/16 gap.--------PAPA MIKERead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Engine Accessories, Manuals Needed

Mike, Google each one and you will get a lot of info back. I rebuilt my Case Mags and the Stromburg carb. If you want to get rid of the case mags I'd be interested. Oh!!!! by the way look up antique mags on Youtube there is a wealt of info there. I should tell you that finding parts for the Case mags is close to impossible.

A couple years ago I found Eisemann mag parts from the California company with the full page ad in Trade-a-plane. All parts seemed to be available. Try an antique tractor magazine for a magneto repair man and you can probably find points, condenser, etc. for the Case magnetos. Case mags have a really hot spark for tractor use and I=99ve been told the airplane mags are the same thing.Ralph in SD________________________________________________________________________________
