Default Rust removal?

If you mean that you put the "self lubricated" pins stright into the
spars I think that's a really bad idea!

I never assemble without completely cleaning the main spar pins and
the spar bushings and lubricating them with fresh grease. Any other
way risks the bushings and pins being scratched by accumulated dirt.
The lift pins and the horizontal stab pins get the same treatment.

I fly in a very dusty environment. I might be less picky if it was
clean.
