Flyng in rain is not unusual up here in Holland (though avoided as much as

possible).I never had train come in that way - BUT- You should worry more about

rain coming in at the front seal of the canopy. Getting the seal there to be

rain-proof is more of a challenge and may require a different rubber profile for

the seal than what seems obvious from the size of the depressed indentation

along the aft edge of the header tank outer skin.
