Default 1-34 Fuselage Drain Holes

Our club 1-34 lives outside, and during heavy rains will accumulate some water in the fuselage. There appear to be no drain holes in the bottom of the fuselage. Is there supposed to be a drain in there?



If not is there an approved method of adding these?

Using a step drill, create about 1/4 diameter drain hole in front of bulkhead where water collects. Do this off center line so as to not affect lap joint.
I doubt your inspector will have a concern about this. Ours didn't.
