I posted this in the Seaplane forum...but thought this was kind of a beginner type question as well.

Hey guys...well I finally took the Mariner out for the first time today. Our club in conjunction with another local club held a float fly.

One of the club pros took the mariner up for me and helped me trim her out. After that she flew like a dream. What an awsome time....I'm hooked on Seaplanes!

One issue that requires some of your expert advice. When I got her home and took the wing off..I had a bit of water on the inside. Mind you, not to much perhaps 3-4 oz. I'm a little concerned because now all the balsa on the inside of the hull is wet. I did my best to dry it out with some rags and a few quick shots with my heat gun. Should I be concerned about getting wet? I think I've isolated where the water entered, but mostly I'm concerned I've damaged the balsa by allowing it to get wet.

Thanks for your help.

Joe
