I finally got the RV home today. The only casualty to the internal soaking
was the iFly GPS went Tango Uniform. Oddly enough, that's the one piece of
electronics that didn't get wet directly. I've got it drying out in the
hangar, but the touch screen no longer responds to touch. I also had a high
fuel pressure warning on the engine monitor, but my analog gauge indicated all
was normal. That was tracked to a "protective" sleeve over the 4 wires from
the transducer that got wet inside. As soon as I removed the sleeve, the fuel
pressure readings returned to normal. The new radios were fogged over inside
the display, as were my gyros, but all worked well and have since dried out. I
spent this afternoon redesigning and replacing the weatherstrip seals on the
canopy and the boot cowl access hatch, both of which leaked rather badly. The
plane is in the hangar with the canopy open and a fan blowing air around the
cockpit and up through the panel. I'll post some photos from the ride home on
the FB site. Fascinating weather to fly in. -Jeff ScottArkansas Ozarks Sent:

Subject: Re: KRnet> Not home yet...Jeff, I hope all the electronics come out
okay. A portable dehumidifier or a few days of airing out in dry weather might
help, before attempting to smoke check the systems… Adam On Mon, Sep 16, 2024

Other than Zack, I had the shortest trip home. I got within 15 miles of home
before I had to turn back and land 50 miles north of home. I made two more
attempts during the day yesterday before tying the plane down out in the
weather and calling for a ride home. We had IFR conditions and steady rain for
36 hours, finally clearing this evening. I'll go retrieve the RV in the
morning. With all the rain, I discovered a lot of water leaks that I'll need to
address. In the mean time, I have about $8000 worth of water soaked electronics
that I sure hope I didn't kill.
Had I have been about 30 minutes earlier, I would have been home.
