My last aircraft was all composite - no corrosion worries at all.
My new Sonex has bee meticulously treated, during construction, in & out (then painted) with corrosion proofing treatments.
Unfortunately my Sonex will start its operational life parked in the open. To mitigate the effects of weather, I have purchased a heavy duty, custom made, all over, cover BUT still I worry.
The airfield is a long way from the coast & salt and Australia does not (for the most part) use this corrosion accelerator on its runways BUT still I worry.
Am I being unnecessarily concerned?
Should I spray all internal cavities with one of the magic products that claim to control corrosion ?
If so, which one is the most cost effective/popular? (ACF-50, Corrosion X, etc) AND how much would I need to treat a Sonex.
