The glass on my airspeed indicator is fogged up with moisture. I have removed the static line from the back of the instrument and found droplets of water in the line. I'm looking for suggestions on how to dry out the airspeed indicator and removal of water from the system. I have used compressed air to purge out the water droplets through the static lines and put a small wattage heat lamp under the airspeed instrument with no success. I am also concerned this moisture will migrate to my Dynon D10A.

I first noticed the moisture two days after flying through a small rain shower. I have 630 hours on my RV-6 and have flown it through rain showers before, this is the first time I have ever had an issue with moisture/water in the system.

I do not have the Cessna style static water sump collection bottle sold by ACS installed in the static system and am considering installing one.

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
