Guys I need a little advice. I’m looking at an airplane that does spend time tied down in the elements with only the factory cabin cover to protect it from the elements.

What areas need extra inspection?

Thank you in advance.

A lot of rain can get in thru the slots in the rear tail access covers and pool up in the bottom rear of the fuselage (I am assuming it is a tail dragger). If there is no drain or an inadequate drain back there, A thorough inspection for corrosion would be in order; I realize this area is very difficult to inspect without removing those access covers.
