I'm somewhat inclined to suggest that those spare parts for the Eisemann
mags be purchased and carried with you on cross country trips.

When my mag failed upon departure at Sun-N-Fun, (on a Saturday afternoon,
naturally), I had to wait till Monday to order parts and pay overnight
shipping.  The motel and restaurant meal costs for Saturday, Sunday and
Monday easily exceeded the repair costs.

On another occasion, I had a bad mag at an Illinois fuel stop on a Sunday
cross country from Pennsylvania to Iowa.  There was no Sunday mechanic
available on the field at which I was stopped.  I took my chances and flew
back to Iowa on one mag, something I intend to never do again.  Spare parts
wouldn't have helped much on this Sunday, probably, but early morning
repairs on Monday might have gotten me back to work Monday without having to
fly on one mag.  With no parts, there would have been no early morning
Monday repairs.  Local mechanics rarely seem to stock the Eisemann mag
parts.
