Flying in the Rain

Dear all,

Wending my way back home the other day there were some fairly light showers along much of my route (not Cb type stuff), and through most of the showers I could easily see thru to the other side. I chose not to fly through the rain, and took the scenic route which kept the aeroplane dry, even though I wouldn't have been too bothered if we did get a little wet.

Thinking about it a while later on the ground I realised I don't know very much at all about flying in rain, even light rain. I'm not talking about flying near serious Cbs, just light rain and not for prolonged periods. Apart from regular use of Carb heat any other tips or warnings?

Best rgds
