Questions about STOL 701's

TWO questions:1. If I build a 701 with the folding wing option, is there any builder option that I should / must fore go ?  Like wing gas tanks?   Any advice about the folding wing option ?  Thumbs up or thumbs down ?2.

Question about corrosion protection.  When building a STOL 701, do you paint each piece before riveting the pieces together to prevent corrosion between the assembly?   OR Best practice, to pop rivet first and then spray the whole completed assembly?Is the best corrosion paint still  the oldzinc chromate? ( the green paint)  Is there something newer and better now?RobSee More
