Pre-takeoff checklist
Coming back to my plane yesterday, a week or so after a washing, I found a salt-like substance on the leading edges of my fixed aluminum prop. Upon close inspection there was a lot of roughness and some minor pitting in the leading edge. After reading up on corrosion, I decided to take some 220 sandpaper and smooth it out. It didnt take much hand sanding at all to get to clean metal. I followed up with some Flitz by hand, and wiped the edges with a little motor oil on a rag as a protectant.
Does this sound like a reasonable solution to the problem? Is there a better way to prevent future corrosion?
