Hi all,
During preflight do you remove your tie-down eyelet's? Check the POH under Right Wing and Left Wing preflight. In both areas the POH says Tie-Down - REMOVE eyelet. I am thinking that the POH is trying to say, "don't install the eyelet's until you need them". Funny, it does not say the same thing for the tail tie down eyelet.
I have heard it explained that there is a possibility of dissimilar metal corrosion if you leave the tie down eyelets installed in the wing. What do you do about this and why?
Thanks
