So far so good, but only limited hours so far.   If you have the thin stainless steel sheet and means to fabricate it, use it instead just to be sure of good longevity since no long term results are available.

Very interesting.  Just curious to why you didn't use stainless steel instead of aluminum.

Good question John.  There were two reasons. 

1)     Remember I was on Revision 7b, and at point I put a premium on quick and easy fabrication to test ideas.  Much trial and error.

2)     Most important, there was a bit of aluminum in the hangar, but no stainless.  If the aluminum does not last well, I will head to the stainless fabricator in town for revision 7c.
