I recently bought this cub and noticed some corrosion on the X brace and a couple other tubes in the cockpit. Everything else looks fairly clean but these spots are showing some clear signs of corrosion. It kind of looks like some of the rust was painted over at one point as well. It's going in for its first annual next week and I'm a little worried about what might come of this. Just trying to budget for the annual bill, anyone have any idea if this is something that can be cleaned and protected or am I looking at a major repair with replacing these tubes?
In one of the pictures you can see I cleaned a small spot of the rust off, it wasn't deep but the tubes definitely have some minor pitting left behind from the rust. :/
