Oh...Karen. Why fret.
Just return the plane to the factory and they will add those drain
holes they forgot to place as a free warranty repair.
Great customer service!

"No drain holes" may be the standard. My ASH 26 E does not have drain
holes in the spoiler boxes, and does not need them as long as the
spoilers are closed when it rains on the ground. If rain gets into the
boxes when flying, I've never heard of it happening; personally, I've
never looked in the boxes after flying through rain, but none ever
poured out when I derigged, either. If they are open when it rains, the
boxes will fill with water. The boxes are sealed, so it doesn't run into
the wing.
