I simply could not rent out an aircraft in that state and face my customers, in my opinion a little water in that aircraft is the the least of your problems . . . . and flying in rain is the only time that it will get a wash!
Quite. Luckily its hangared. But you could perhaps guess the general opinions re: such an aircraft - let us say I will no longer fly it for aeros, and it now spends more time in the hangar now than it ever used to...one wonders how long such a situation can continue...
