    DC3

    Thanks for the input, to clarify, I don't expect to pilot the DC3, copilot would be the goal. Don't have the hours and probably unattainable at this stage in my life.

    Time required for anti-corrosion treatment

    I suggest you have it done by an expert with proper PPE. Done properly, It increases weight and u should have your weights and balances checked. The chemical is good for 2 yrs. Also, wipe your struts periodically with a oily lubricate to prevent corrosion.
