Has any of you has ever discovered something during the pre-flight
inspection that necessitated a significant deferrment of your flight
plan or a cancelation altogether? Just curious, that's all.


Just last month; found two broken clips on a Goodyear brake disk.
Goodyear wheels have a tendency to lock up when that happens. Found a
crack in the wheel at the rivet for one of the clips.

Swapped to a set of Grove wheels/brakes, working well so far.
