After a rain encounter, either flying through it or sitting on the ramp, my -7A retains water in the right wing root, but not the left. I've drilled a 1/16" drain hole in the wingroot area between the fuselage and the most inboard wing rib. Occasionally, the plane will be in a different location, sitting at a different deck angle, and I'll see water dripping out.
Of course that means water had remained pooled inside after the rain encounter, not good over the long-term. It's curious that it only happens on the right side. Apparently, any water on the left side drains on it's own.
Has anyone else experienced this and worked toward a solution?
The obvious solution of keeping and using the plane in dry locations only is NOT an option.
Thanks for your help,
Mike
