I’m looking at a very nice EAB with a clean looking C85. My concern is the plane has not flown frequently in the last few years. It’s in a hanger, but the temp and dew point are close a lot of the time. When I visited this week, condensate was all over the exterior of the airplane, but inside the wings and fuselage were very dry.
What are C85 flyers experiencing for internal corrosion? I’m interested in inspection methods, visual pass fail limits, what is tolerable, what’s critical if I do bore scope inspection. Can anyone speak from recent personal experience? Thanks, for your insights.
