Q.1- I have recently bought a part finished sybolt project started in the early seventies. The fuselage is mainly completed but is covered in light rust. I had intended buffing most of the rust off then nutralise the rust with a chemical rust killer before priming.... my only concern is that the chemical may have a long term effect on the 4130. Has anyone had experience with this and any advise on safe product. (I did not want to sand blast because of the residual sand/grit/beads.)

The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.
The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.
