>Dead simple - fit a mud guard to the wheel. I have had one fitted since
new,
I fly from a very wet grass strip all year round and never get any mud
inside the wheel well let alone the interior. In 5 years of flying I have
only cleaned the wheel well three times, and that only entailed a wipe over
with a sponge and cloth, whilst I have had mud an inch thick on the
underside of the fuselage after some flights.

I looked at fitting a mudguard but was put off by the very small clearance
between the wheel and the throttle quadrant with the gear retracted. Is
there a way around this?
