I love flying our towplane, and because I fly it I like it to be kept in tiptop shape.
I also love getting pulled by our towplane and because of that I like it to fly as much as possible, especially on weekends.
Sunday while preflighting I noted one of the exhaust stacks was cracked about half way around the pipe near the exit point on the cylinder. Sadly to say, it cut the day short. Consequently, we have decided to send it in and get a new exhaust for that side. The other side was replaced last fall when a hole blew out the side of one stack.
Was hoping to do my first flight in my glider next weekend, looks like that might have to wait.
Of course, a big High pressure area is moving in tommorow, great soaring is forecasted, and everyone in Ames is grounded.
Time to start saving for a motorglider
