Hello fellow cub pilots.
I operate my cub on beaches next to the ocean and just wondering if anyone knows from experience of this happening. Clearly landing on a beach and getting in and out of the airplane can drag unwanted sand particles from your shoes into the aircraft and when your flying the vibrations cause them to go to the tail of the aircraft, has anyone experienced serious corrosion in the tail of their aircraft due to the sand. I'm aware that the only way to stop corrosion is to not fly to the beach (but that's just boring) and im limiting the corrosion of the cylinder heads by having it specially coated with a antitrust material.
And any advice from how to stop sand getting in my airplane would be awesome
thanks
