Flying in the rain
Robies can fly in heavy rain. (otherwise it would not be of great use in some countries including Belgium).
Following precautions.
1. When starting up a Robbie in heavy rain, watch out for fogging up the windows (there was an earlier thread on that)
2. When flying in heavy rain, depending on dew point etc , same as above
3. Expect some water to come in via the forward vent (which you can not fully close because of the above.
4. The tail rotor will progressively erode, but nothing to worry about in terms of hours, but in term of total usefull life.
