I fly Cessna airplanes, and am well aware of where these access areas are. Then why ask the question? That's different from understanding what may be hidden on an old metal plane I'm not familiar with. That's what you pay a mechanic to look for. -- Jim Pennino I keep hearing about this with regard to old planes: Aluminum corrosion.(under paint) "Aluminum, however, is readily corroded when in contact with most metals in a moist atmosphere due to its highly negative potential. This type of corrosion is caused by a galvanic action in which the moisture, acting as an electrolyte, causes current to flow through the contact of the two metals while an electron transfer causes the aluminum to go into solution." http://www.dossert.com/technicalinfo/aluminum.htm --- Mark |
