When I got up this morning, the weather didn't look too bad. I started loading the truck then all hell broke loose. I got trapped in the truck and the garage got flooded. All week the weather has been passable, now this.

Warm, wind light to moderate, rain later. Today I managed 2 flights on the Noblarf 3/Brodak 40, then the rains came. I thought it would blow over. Guess again. The new batch of fuel, Sig R/C 5% nitro/20% 50-50 Castor/Klotz ran perfectly. I need to add a little more oil to bring it up to Brodak specs.

No rain, light wind. HOT!. HUMID! I put up 3 flights on the NoblARF #2/OS 35S ABC. Engine runs perfectly. Had to adjust the handle for a little more up. The combo of heat and humidity is destroying me. Before starting back, I noticed a mark on my trucks front tire. On close inspection, the tire cord was exposed on a tiny spot on the inside edge of the tire. I had to keep the speed down on the return trip.

Lucky you seen it. Nothing like a tire blowing out at speed. Especially the front tires. Been there and done that. At least you got some flights in.

I could have easily missed it and found out about it the hard way. Not my idea of fun. Now it's going to be 2 new tires and an alignment.
UPDATE: 2 new tires and alignment done. over $400.
