Failed return trip after trying to rescue the Cardinal. Last week, Rusty took the Cardinal out on his way to San Diego for a big cross country trip. Outside of Vegas the instruments started freaking out and were un-reliable so he made a stop at Boulder, NV.
The mechanics were booked out for a few days so Rusty opted to continue his vacation and fly commercial to San Diego.
After a few days The mechanics found what they thought was the problem and Scnyder and I flew in with the intention of flying it back as a team. After being delayed due to low-viz smokey conditions from nearby forest-fires we were able to take off but shortly after takeoff, our oil temperature started to read into the red. Rather than continue on we made a 180 and returned back to Boulder to have the mechanics take another look.
