On occasion, I have flown through light rain with my XS monowheel, N262WF. What I have noticed is that the airspeed will fall off by 5 to 10 kts and then recovers as the rain is dried off. Quite a surprising demonstration of the efficiency of Don Dykin's laminar flow aerofoil.

Has anyone got an experience theyd like to share regarding flying the europa through
either showers or very light rain and how these conditions may affect the
aircrafts performance? For example a Schrieb Motorfalks stall speed is raised
5kt if water droplets collect across the wings surface during light rain...
