I was out today doing lazy-8s and other stuff in preparation for revalidating my CFI ticket. I noticed during the lazy-8 that water appeared to be pouring out of both wings just above the rear quarter window. The flow of water continued for some time, and this is the second time I have noticed such a large amount of water coming out of my wings We have not had any significant rain in several days prior to this flight. The aircraft is tied down outside as I won't pay the high cost of hangars here, so water is apparently leaking into the wings and pooling up near the wing root....which I don't like at all I would have thought that drain holes would be provided at the lowest point in the wings to drain all precipitation and condensation away. Can anyone suggest a remedy I suppose I could pull a few inspection covers and find out just where the water is pooling and then drill a few drain holes myself...but I think better to wait and see what those that have passed before me have to say
