Default DG505, DG500 Spoiler box does not drain and freezes

Eight short pieces of duct tape (one for each joint) seal them pretty
well and are a matter of a few seconds. At least that's what I do when
for whatever reason I have to leave a glider outside overnight. Every
glider pilot should have a roll of duct tapy handy, anyway.

That said, I consider it pretty cruel to tie a plasic glider outside.
