It all depends on how you feel; I flew last year on a very Foggy Morning at my Club. I lost sight of my plane a few times, but I kept a steady thumb, and predicted where my plane was going to be. I had to lower the altitude a few times... because I heard the engine, but I could see no plane. I had to prove my craziness to our Club. I made sure I was the only one at our field at the time of flight. Safety reasons of course.

When I landed my plane, the whole thing was soaking wet and full of grass cuttings, because I mowed the lawn the prior evening. Water and Glow Oil is quite messy! I've been caught in rain once last summer; the rain came out of nowhere. It was one of those Sun Showers! My plane faired just fine every time. So don't worry too much about it.

If you have questions on how wet your plane can be, just ask a guy who has a Float Plane. There planes are wet all the time.

My transmiter was always fine when it got a little wet. Once I've landed my plane and turned everything off, I take it to our Pole Barn at our Club, and I wipe everything down with a Clean Towel and Paper Towel. I use my body to shield the Transmitter when I get that unexpected shower.
