<<My mechanic noticed a lot of water in the fuselage at about the front
of the vertical stabilizer. I will have to check and make sure that
there isn't any further back. We drilled a hole in the fuselage at
about this point.>>

I plan to add a drain hole in every compartment of the fuselage that could
trap water.  But what about the wings and tail?  Would it be wise to do it
there, too?  I was surprised that the instructions are to drill vent holes
centered in the ribs, but there are no notches in the bottom to provide a
drain of any kind.  Any opinions on this?
