How much of a concern is this to older RV?s? I'm wanting to buy a used 4 while I take my time on building mine.
Let?s take two airplanes, for example, that were built in the early nineties. Both had the insides primered. Both have been hangared all of their lives. Both have been located well inland, away from the ocean. But one has been located in an area that receives 50+ inches annually. The other is out west and receives less than 16 of rain annually. Would it be noticeable which one was located in the wetter climate? My concern here is obviously corrosion, in particularly hidden corrosion.
I?ve found about a handful of planes I like, and kind of narrowed down my choices to two, and faced with this situation. I will probably be making a decision very soon, maybe as early as tomorrow on which direction to head. The one out east is better equipped for the same price, and I like the way the interior is done better. But due to the fact the other has been in a desert all of its life, I?m still leaning toward it.
Again, keep in mind both have been hangared all of their lives, and primered on the insides, and both about 20 year old planes. Am I making too much about the wetter climate?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
