Congratutions on your new 56 inch Mac. I know you will love this loom. I run the Macomber groups here and on Ravelry and I don't remember anyone asking about the fly shuttle system so I don't think there is information in any of these posting. So therefore I am sending you to  

http://macomberloomsandme.blogspot.com/  You can email Sarah your question, she is Macombers sales rep.

You can find a lot of information here on restorring your Macomber. One thing about the 56 inch Macomber, it has the heaviest heddle frames of all the Macombers. When they went to the 60 inch and larger looms, Macomber started using a different style of frame. I am telling you this because we have two 56 inch Macombers and trying to lift a whole group of frames with one treadle (as in complex weaves) is a bugger

Enjoy your loom
