flying. Dorothy
was up
in the blue sky making a world's record
of seventy or more outside loops in
her little Great Lakes biplane. The rac
ing planes were busily buzzing around
the closed course. Thousands of peo
ple were in the grandstand, facing
north, away from the sun and craning
their necks alternately between the air
racers flying by and Dorothy, a
sparkling tumbling speck in the sky.
Jimmy Doolittle was sitting on the
edge of the cockpit of his Shell Oil Co.
Lockheed Sirius low-wing monoplane,
one of the most modern and fastest
airplanes of the day, waiting his turn
to demonstrate it to the crowd. He was
parked just beyond the east end of the
grandstand,. facing north.
Likewise, I was sitting on the edge
of the cockpit of my Pitcairn PCA-2 au
togiro, just to the right of Doolittle's
Sirius. I had taken delivery of the new
autogiro only three days before at the
Pitcairn factory at Willow Grove, near
Philadelphia. I had immediately
started on the first transcontinental
flight of a rotary-wing aircraft and was
picking up an appearance contract at
Omaha on the way.
Between the races the aerobatic pi
lots were putting on their noisy shows,
diving back and forth in front of the
grandstand. In contrast, no one could
even hear Dorothy or the incompara
ble Freddie Lund doing effortlessly
smooth aerobatics in his Taperwing
Waco. It was a great setting for fun
and excitement.
Suddenly, during a lull in the activi
ties, a beautiful Laird Speedwing
biplane with a 300-hp Wright engine
taxies out about 75 yards and stops,
and the engine stops too. A stream of

MAGNETO SWITCH
STEVE KROG AND BOB GEHRING
FROM THE CUB CWB NEWS
he A7 magneto
switch has been
around for over 60
years and at one
time, I'm sure, was the most
common mag switch used
by virtually every airplane
manufacturer producing sin
gle-engine dual-ignition
airplanes. Many thousands
of these old mag switches are
still in use today and are con
tinuing to perform flawlessly.
However, there are many of
these near "bullet proof"
switches that have been
taken out of service due to
the modern day philosophy
of "remove and replace"
rather than repair.
The next time you en
counter the problem of being
unable to shut down the en
gine when you move the mag
switch lever to the "Off" posi
tion, don't get in a big hurry
to remove that old switch and
replace it with one of those
new fangled key-operated
Bendix mag switches. Make
sure you've properly identi
fied the mag switch as the
problem.
Over the past near 20 years
of providing tailwheel in
struction in a Cub, I've had
the mag switch fail three
times. Twice the switch was
faulty and the third time a
6
OCTOBER 2003
In this photo the mag is in the "Off" position and the Right mag circuit is
being tested. The ohmmeter needle shows full deflection to the right or
zero indicating the mag switch is working properly in this position.
Using a small flat blade pocket screwdriver, carefully open each of the four
retaining tabs holding the fiber backplate.
This photo shows the left mag circuit being tested with the mag in the
"Left" mag position. The ohmmeter shows no needle movement, indicating
the circuit is "open" and working properly.
With the backplate removed , the dirt and corrosion are seen clearly in the
brass indents and the dirt or copper track is visible between each of the
brass indents.
OCTOBER 2003
Carefully clean the copper tabbed ring and the fiber backplat e with lacquer
'i.11inner. The copper tabbed ring fits in either of two positions.
The distance bet ween each tab is slight ly different so as t o assure that the
backplate can only be reassembled in one position.
His dad owned it, so Ben Scott thought it made a lot of sense if he owned
it too , decades after the fact! Ben 's beautifully restored Stearman 4E was
judged the Antique Grand Champion of EAA AirVenture 2003.
David and Jeanne Allen 's Waco ASO was one of the nearly two dozen air
planes participating in the National Air Tour, but before they headed off on
their 4,000 mile trek , they took home the Antique Open Cockpit Biplane
Runner Up trophy.

Patience is the word that comes to mind when looking at Dick and Patsy Jackson's amazing Sikorsky S-39, the
oldest flying Sikorsky aircraft in the world. Patience over 40 years of restoration effort, patience to fly it cross
country, and patience with the countless questions from admirers at each and every stop along the way. Dick ' s
persistence was rewarded when the Sikorsky was presented with the Reserve Grand Champion Antique Lindy at
EAA AirVenture 2003.

In contrast to the IFR Champ many members have seen Bill Pancake flying over the past couple of decades, this
Champ is equipped with the minimum of instruments required for day VFR flight , plus one extra. Can you name the
extra instrument? (Answer at the end of the article. )

Bill Pancake is sometimes given
to understatement.

using ECI cylinders and an 0-200
crank. C-85 cranks are hard to find,
but there's an STC for using the 0

Once
in a while, Bill
says someone asks
why he does so many of
his airplanes in blue and
white rather than factory
colors. They also ask why the
interior of his current airplane
isn't in the original colors.

"I have been very pleased with the handling of the claim which
resulted from a ground accident involving my 1940 Porterfield .
The little red and silver beauty is flying again. There could
not have been a better experience, and I am very glad that
I chose to insure through AUA."
