I dunno what Tim used but on the Mooney I used to own that had an inlet in
the roof (later models moved it to the empennage fairing) and used a 1/4 ID
diameter rubber hose that drained via a fitting out the bottom of the
fuselage.

Subject: Emp Fairing - Inlet
Earlier this week I had the tail feathers bolted in their final position and
then removed them for storage. While they were on I threw on the EMP
fairing just to get an idea how close it would be and as I expected I've got
quite a bit of work to do on it.
So since I'll be doing major plastic surgery on it, I was thinking about
adding a ram air inlet similar to this one on Tim's site.

But then the thought crossed my mind.. What about water?
What's the secret to keeping water out of the scat tubing? Rain on the
ramp, in flight, or just flying in wet clouds could pile up some water
pretty quickly.
