It is supposed to not corrode aluminum wheel and master cylinders; so I have been told. DOT5 will probably do anything it will do, better. The only reason to run aviation anything in a non certificated aircraft is just to be cool, I guess.

    Brake fluid that's flammable!
     I knew there was a so called aviation brake fluid, but couldn't
    figure why anyone would use it though. Is there anyone on list
    that has an idea of what the aircraft fluid is supposed to do better?
     First let me say that there are modern fluids for racing that are
    good to incredible temps and are non-corrosive to aluminum. Hell
    most of the calipers used on race cars have been aluminum for
    years. Water accumulation is the only possible question that I
    could see and modern fluids have no problem there. Silicone based
    fluids have the advantage of not harming paint, but have
    compressibility issues at high temperatures. I am planning to run
    a high temp racing fluid unless somebody can tell me why I "must"
    run aviation fluid.
