Although I fly a Classic Europa, the wing is essentially the same, i.e. the
same section but a few inches less span than the XS.
I have through rain many times, and on several occasions, quite heavy rain,
and have not noticed any real change. One or two have said they notice a
slight down trim change, but I honestly haven't noticed anything worth
recording.
