Statesvilles IMAA Flyin

About 30 registered pilots... 5 of which were from RDRC (Josh, Dane, Drake, Michael V., and myself).

It was HOT HOT HOT (temperature wise).

Event ended fairly early due to impending thunderstorms... wasn't a problem since KC Hobby was having their 22nd store sale. 20% off !!! Met up with Larry, Robert, and Joe taking advantage of the great savings...

Along the road between Statesville and Archdale, I had a blowout of one of my trailer tires. Luckily I carry a spare, tire iron, and a trailer buddy ramp so that I could successfully change out the tire.
The hard part was fixing/modifying the bent sheet metal, fender, and loose marker light wires which all became victims from the flying rubber.

So the lesson of the day,

Have a spare tire, tire iron, jack (trailer buddy's are great for tandums), hammer, large zip ties, drill, bits, and sheet metal screws... It took all of that just to get my trailer back on the road.

On to the pics...

This is why I have a tire pressure monitor system on my truck and camper. A lot of the "blowouts" are really caused by slow pressure loss which results in the tire self-destructing. This system can be programmed for a low-pressure limit and will alarm (beep and flash) if the pressure drops. It does not eliminate the need for the things you mentioned, but will reduce the likelyhood you will need them and also gives some peace of mind.

I like it so much I plan to buy more sensors to put on the airplane trailer, and may even buy a system to put on Martha's car.

Great pics, it was a fun day even if it was ridiculously hot out there. It was a shame about the corsair that imploded, I did snap a couple of pics of it before though.
