Some time ago someone asked about a way for water to escape if the Piet wasparked out in the rain. Yesterday I was under my GN-1 and noticed thatthere were a series of grommet holes along each side of the fuselage bottomand along the trailing edge of all wing and elevators. Seemed to be spacedabout every 8 inches (I didn't messure). The hole was about 3/16". Hopethis helps.Ted Brousseau/APFnfn00979(at)gator.naples.netSunny SW Florida________________________________________________________________________________

I even drilled some3/16" holes in the passenger and pilot floor boards next to the ashcross members so when you get in with snow, wet feet, etc (andrain) it will not puddle up there but drain to the belly fabric below.(I put two stringers along the belly to hold the fabric off the floor)PS, Sorry Ted, I forgot.....snow is that white stuff you see everyfour years on TV during the Olympics !
