The piano hinge supplied for rudder, flaps etc is already anodised. If you look
up the stuff in either Light Aero spares or Aicraft Spruce catalogue you they
will say if they are anodised or not. Welcome and have fun

  Subject: Corrosion treatment


  After 'lurking' on this site for some years I have now become a Europa builder
and have recently started work on the rudder.


  The manual says nothing about corrosion treatment of the rudder and tail plane
hinges. Is it safe to leave these parts untreated?


  If corrosion treatment is desirable, as I suspect is probably the case, then
I will need to alodyne the hinges before they are fitted to the rudder. I know
that alodyne can be obtained from Aircraft Spruce, but is there also a UK source
of supply?
