Magnesium alloys

Hi

I would like to know if there are any specific external surfaces (wing and fuselage skins, ailerons, flaps, elevators, stabilizers etc.) on A36 that are made of magnesium alloys )
A36 - E3588 - E3616

Kind regards

Model: Bonanza A36
Aircraft Serial Number: E3588 - E3616

The serial numbers you listed are still Magnesium elevators only. All other flight controls are Aluminum. The first Aluminum elevator skins was installed on S/N 4032.
There is an STC that allows the installation of Aluminum skins on ALL of the straight tail Barons and Bonanzas.
