Ron,
You haven't seen my 320 then!
When working on my legacy, I made sure the the vertical stab, horizontal stab, rudder and elevator had internal vents and drains at resting low points. This includes trim tabs! I don't remember what the pre-built ailerons or flaps have.
When I had my 320 parked at a friends house during a wind driven rain storm, I watched as water dripped out of the tailcone drain because the rain was driven in thru the vertical stab opening for the elevator spar. No water collected in the AOA ports or the static ports.
