Jack- I was looking at your web site, and it looks like your main fuselage 
tube is bare aluminum.  Is it coated with anything?  What did you do about 
electrolysis at the contact points with steel, front and rear?  How do you 
keep it shiny, wax?

Bill,

The fuselage tube is not coated. I don't worry too much about electorlysis, 
as the FireFly is always hangared.  I do het the joints with a little spray 
WD 40 a couple times a the year.  I polish the tube tube one time a year.  I 
use automotive aluminum wheel polish on a folded paper towel followed by an 
old soft cotton tee shirt.  It looks better in the photo that it realy is.
