Default DG505, DG500 Spoiler box does not drain and freezes

The boxes are sealed but the lower floor of the box usually is or
touches the bottom wing skin so if you really wanted to you could
drill a hole right there through the lower skin. Your A&P may have a
different idea.

But why? /snip/

Drains are fitted to powered airframes because it takes relatively
little trapped water to give a very nasty aft pitching (or rolling)
moment...
