Thomas,
Well that's a new one on me. Sound to me you
might be getting confused with Anodized Aluminium. I know lower
grade stainless can pit because of electrolysis in extreme environments and
because of that they use 316 ( marine) grade. I know carbon grade
stainless can rust
However if anyone can confirm this I
would appreciate hearing further about it.

I
think I want to stay away from the stainless because it will be completely
enclosed in fiberglas.
Stainless needs to be exposed to an oxygen
environment in order to for that protective layer (chrome oxide) that prevents
further oxidation.
At least that's what I've been
told/read.
Thomas,
I agree with Tony, use something that won't rust,
nothing looks worse on the exterior of a plane. Maybe consider stainless
steel, I use it on everything.

Hey
Tony.
Now I'm looking for the tie down hardpoints (either parts or specs)
referenced on page 25 of the 'A' kit manual.
I have not found them in
the drawings either.
They say thay are Cad plated steel. I can have
them made but I would be guessing.
Maybe .125 3" x 3.5" plate
would suffice with a threaded steel bushing welded to it and then
plated.
I figure the bushing threaded/tapped 1/4" x 28 could be 5/8"
material ... maybe. ... or 3/4".
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
