Have had students asking if they can fly tomorrow. Although it will be a Hughes 300 and the sky is due to be clear, the dust that accumulated on my car tonight makes me wonder what would be happening to my blades. The blades have already lost the paint from normal clean air operation, who knows what wear they would experience during the 3 hours planned flying in potential grit filled air? Any views?
Im leaning towards NOT flying but would appreciate some back up or sensible advice.
