If you have a substantial outflow of water on lowering the tail that suggests there is someting amiss with the aircraft drains. Either something is blocked or the design is wrong.

I have seen corrosion problems with R22 in the past. We had a one year old aircraft where the transmission support frame was a write off due to corrosion. Every inch of the frame was affected. It looked like something out of a car scrap yard.
