My RV7A is kept in a hangar that routinely stays about 10 degrees warmer in winter and cooler in the summer than outside temps, this due to three walls being below ground level.
While gone away from the plane for about 6 months, the leading edges of both wings developed a pattern of little white worm looking things, each about 3/8" long and fairly evenly spaced, and about the thickness of a thick hair.
I think it must be corrosion and I will probably just get some very fine scotch brite and remove them. I am curious if others have experienced this and what the cause might be.
The airplane is unpainted of course. The only place these appeared is at the leading edges of the wings.
I don't remember flying through a white worm cloud...
The plane is powered by a turbocharged Subaru engine so maybe it has something to do with excessive speeds?
