Once you add combustion to the equation I'm sure some of the resulting compounds are corrosive.

Subject: [NSRCA-discussion] Corrosives - Electronics Burning


The silicone brought this to my mind. I had a speed control roast in my plane this spring, it smoked up pretty good and pretty well looked like a charcoal briquet;  but luckily nothing else burnt in the plane and the batteries didnt get damaged (apparently) as the leads desoldered and opened the circuit.
 
I noticed the next time out that every screw or bare metal part exposed inside the fuse had a rust coating on it. Im curious if the insulation on the PC board or wires burn producing a corrosive gas; anyone? 
 
Then that makes me wonder about the receiver and wire connections in the radio..although I have since replaced the receiver.
