Default Running in salt water. Good or bad?

So we're moving back to San Diego and unfortunatly there is a lack of lakes there un like here in North Texas. Any one have any experience with running nitro boats in salt water? Should I stay away from doing so? I know salt watter is'nt the best for aluminum and I'm affraid of ruining the OS.18 with salt watter due to electrilisis, since the cooling head is steel and the head button is alluminum. Is there a specific way to flush it after use?

I dont want to sell the Black Jack since I have worked so hard on making it bullet proof but I would hate to have it sitting to only use it once or twice a year.

Thanks in advance,
Rafael
