Sadly, I have had to leave my newly acquired -140 outside for the time being. When it rains heavily, water collects at the bottom of the fuselage, just aft of the rear seat bulkhead. I have determined that its coming from the tail cone, and migrating downhill inside the fuselage and collecting at the lowest point. Usually about 1 - 1.5 gallons by the time I get it all out. Plus a little bit in the tailcone that I get rid of by removing the lowest screws. Anyone else have this problem, and what do you do to alleviate it? Besides moving into a hangar, which I am doing next month. Until then, I just hope we don't have too many episodes of heavy rain.
