Jonathan,
You folks in the UK do have a problem. A waterproof cover is best. No matter
what you do, if exposed to the elements the cockpit, engine, and fuselage can
get water in it. They just take up so much room for the good ones.
Yes those vents over the top can be pesky. In tight left turns and a fairly
full
tank, they vent fuel also. Even on the ground with a cold refuel to the top
then letting the plane warm up in the hot summer sun, expands the fuel and you
have a class a fuel stain.
That's why I put the vent on the bottom. But, on a mono that can lead to
problems
with muddy fields and clogging the vent if not placed properly.
Ah compromises.
All the best,
Bud Yerly
