I understand that you can`t see the corrosion (if any) on the wing
spars, without inspection plates. However, I would think if you had
the same amount of corrosion, shown on the gusset in the picture, you
could see it though the fabric. I know my fabric is adhered pretty
tight to most of my gussets. I would also like to know if the
aircraft parts pictured, were outside,exposed to weather most of
their lives or near a salt water environment. Anyone have any
thoughts about that. Lanny N598LF

Lanny, The aircraft came from the middle region of Pennsylvania and has been in Kansas the last four years. The pictures were what I found when I took off the covering after I found that it had been done wrong, i.e. no PolySpray for UV protection and the cloth failed the 50 lb. test. No, even with no PolySpray silver coat, and no PolyBrush evident except where the tapes were applied, the White PolyTone hid even the rusted rivet heads. If I could have seen it through the cloth I would not have bought the aircraft.

It may have been stored outside under a tarp. The tarp can hold moisture in working on the metal 24/7.

Pretty much my point, Ralph. What's the difference to the aluminum if it's a tarp or the polyester covering?
