So it comes down to the fact that if we bolt carbon components to big airframe structures but not small components.  This is how we have gotten away with it on airliners, we have a LOT of aluminum area.  We need to remember that the atmosphere is the dielectric and we will see slower corrosion in Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico than Florida and the California coast.

Bolting sacrificial anodes (zincs) to all the little isolated aluminum pieces sounds good, you just have to accept the fact that they are there to corrode and need to be replaced.
