New lightweight tents need to be absolutely babied to last more than 3 years.#$&#!
Stored my top dollar tent in my hangar in Florida for 2 years. Just set it up in the FBO to check it out. Heat and humidity completely destroyed the urethane waterproofing on the rain fly. Tent is now worthless in any kind of rain.

I've been searching but no joy so far. Also checking eBay.Does REI sell just a fly? I know some mfg’s do that.
Why not just reapply some spray on waterproofing?#$&#!

Looks like I’m in for Wednesday day only. I’ll be flying in a 152
What was the final verdict on @eman1200 going?
Under has been done. I can’t find the image, but McDonnell-Douglas did a publicity flight under the arch, I think with one or more F-15s. Probably more than one unsanctioned GA flight over the years as wellOver, not under.
Looks right. My bougie backpacking tent better do its thing so my titanium French press doesn’t get all wet.
In the last 24 hours I have gone from riding in a PC-12, to catching a ride in a friend’s RV-10 while possibly give his son dual on the way, to driving 13 hours, to now leaving in the morning in a borrowed Bonanza. But dammit, I’m going to make it there somehow!
Modeling for Addidas now?

yeah, I gotta try to get over to see that. How much of an effort is the transportation?Cool!
School bus from the Bus Depot. $3 RT IIRC.yeah, I gotta try to get over to see that. How much of an effort is the transportation?
Today was perfect - mid 70s, not humid. I checked the weather at home in Florida yesterday - it was 90, feels like 118. We’re dragging this Wisconsin trip out as long as possible.How the weather ? Muggy? Hot enough to melt lead? T storms ? Blue skies and birds chirping?
You really should. Arriving IFR at Airventure is like driving a minivan to Sturgis. You'll see the same sights, smell the same smells, and hear the same sounds, but you'll miss out on all the je ne sais quoi.I was looking at traffic this morning, and there appears to be none right now. We're getting ready to depart to hit our 1030 ifr slot, but if it's this dead in a couple hours, I might fly the fisk arrival just so I can say I've done it.
Well, I am flying a minivan to Airventure, so...You really should. Arriving IFR at Airventure is like driving a minivan to Sturgis. You'll see the same sights, smell the same smells, and hear the same sounds, but you'll miss out on all the je ne sais q
So I did it. I flew the Fisk arrival.You really should. Arriving IFR at Airventure is like driving a minivan to Sturgis. You'll see the same sights, smell the same smells, and hear the same sounds, but you'll miss out on all the je ne sais quoi.
