They don't get water in them. However, a major danger in my tail area existed for a while. The elevator while held by control lock in the up position encouraged water to flow along the horizontal tail skin into the tail of the aircraft. The tail tie down hole was not sufficient to allow this water to escape. One bay aft of the tail tie down I'm sure I was getting 2-3" of standing water. Both aft CG issues and overnight freeze (ice expanding destruction) were concerns that drove me to add a drain to my tail. Larry
