Luis,

When I first noticed this problem on my Model III I drilled #40 holes through the inboard end of the flaperons as close to the trailing edge as I could get without damaging the skins.  There seems to be a 'channel' at the trailing edge that allows all of the accumulated water to run downhill to the inboard aft corner.  This hole is virtually unnoticeable and drains well enough, but needs to be cleaned out every year.

If your Fox is outside over night in freezing temperature, it is essential that the water be drained before it freezes and damages the trailing edge of the flaperons.

Regards,

John Stoner
