Seems the factory welds on the muffler were sub standard. Well we scratch our heads, refuel and decide to press on. 5 minutes into the next leg the CO alarm goes off and we return to Reedsburg only to see the exhaust pipe on the runway as we land. I grab it, we pull the muffler off and take the airport car to a shop to get it welded back on. Back in the air three hours later and no CO. Clean living man. It’s not the failure, it’s the recovery!


That is a freaking awesome story!! I love it!! Way to go!!
