As for raining on your avionics, In the 1980's, while working as an A/P on
De Havilland, Dash 7's, the pilots would put their coffee cups on the center
console and you guessed it, the radios were right under the coffee cups.
They came out with an aluminum tent, (that must have cost them a small
fortune) and the shorted out radio problem ended.
