Don't know anything about a moisture meter, but I sure could use one.  I was
wet sanding this weekend and I had the plane outside, so instead of using a
cloth to wipe off the residue, I used the hose.  Big mistake.  I got a lot
of water into the fuselage and I think it got in through the elevator
clearance hole.

Has anyone installed drain holes to handle situations like this?  I think I
will have to put in inspection holes back there sooner than later.  It is
very difficult for a 5'9" 175# old body to crawl back in the fuselage to
wipe up the water.

This situation would most likely occur anytime you washed your plane if you
used a hose to rinse it off.
