<p>Upon further thought this will not be an issue as the pitot system is simply an air pressure device and there is no real 'flow' of air through the system so water / rain will not cause a problem. Also since the pitot / static tube is below the wing and the tubing is fed up into the wing any moisture that may enter the end of the tube will simple drain out. So all good.</p>
