Default Seamaster Question

What should I do to my seamaster to keep water out other than use rubber silicone between the wing and wing saddle. After that I think everything is set to go for the madien flight!! =D I'll try and get some pics, she wont be going up exactly right away though

I like to smear some Vaseline in the pushrod tubes to keep water from wicking in, and wrap the reciever and battery in a baggie, but that's about it

I put a crumpled paper towel inside the fuselage to absorb any water if it gets in.
I also wrap the receiver in a condom, non-lubricated no reservoir tip.

My SM was leaking through the wheel mount tubes.
