This brings up a question that I have wondered about for a while. I don't recall ever seeing water drain holes in the control surfaces of any finished Lancairs. I'm concerned that rain water could collect inside the elevator around the trim tab control arm for example. Freezing temps overnight could cause an out of balance situation. Are there hidden drain holes or are they not necessary? Ron Laughlin Legacy 156
