I've been doing a little surfing this evening and stumbled on the link below for the Rutan Aircraft Factory, Inc. I don't know the date of the bulletin but it appears to be within the last year. Certainly a Lancair isn't a VariEze, but many of the corrosion issues discussed share comparable construction methods and materials. I suggest everyone read it, especially if you have an older Lancair that's lived near the ocean. http://www.rutanaircraft.com/htmlpages/canard.html Ted Stanley
