Greeting fellow RV builders,
I have just recieved my "8" QB (17 Sept) and am nearly finished with the emp (or it's nearly finished me). I have a question for my follow Florida builders dealing with corrosion prevention. Since I live across the river from the Space Center (which also serves as the nations corrosion test center) I am constantly fighting the elements. The QB comes with a coat of WD40 on it and that eventually will wick/wear off. What have you folks done in the building period from reciept to final painting. My QB shares the hanger with the Skybolt so there is no a/c.
I have a Steen Skybolt that keeps me from getting flight withdrawl sysmptoms and it also slows the progress on the building somewhat. BTW, Merritt Island is a great airport to fly to should you like to buzz Cocoa Beach and gaze over at the space center (sorry they won't let you fly over the shuttle landing strip any longer). Give me a call on my cell, 321.258.8514.
