Greetings Lister's,
The word experimental in our aircraft truly means that our aircraft was not built under the certification process of the FAA. I doesn't necessarily that we should experiment with short cuts in finishes, hardware or design. We are building aircraft that are not of our own creation but that of Zenith. The FAA has set up acceptable methods and practices that should be adhered to. If you take apart a Cessna 150, Grumman AA-5, F-15 Strike Fighter you will find that they all use Zinc Chromate to prevent corrosion within any environment the aircraft would find itself in. When it comes to the hardware, AN or MS hardware meets the standards for which are needed to insure safety over the life of the aircraft. Using inferior hardware puts not just your life at stake but anyone who rides with you. If you sell the aircraft, the risk passes to the new owner.
My advise is to stay within the standards established by the AC 43.13 standards as they exist. Do not deviate from the bench mark. I only hope that this doesn't cause a flaming battle, as an A&P, it's just my opinion. Build and fly safe.
