Matt, static wicks and grounding won't work on the e-glass 360s. If you have a carbon version, that's different of course.
I hate to be disagreeable, but in this instance I'm afraid I must. Jim Frantz has called our e-glas airplanes "flying dielectrics" more than once, and static wicks can certainly help the situation in an e-glas airframe. They do not need to be mounted with conductive epoxy but all the wicks must be tied together with grounding straps, and those straps must also be bonded to the ac ground bus. Bill Maddox sells all the supplies, talk to him about it at 509-932-4445. Especially if you're planning on flying your e-glas LNC2 in situations that can induce static buildup. Wicks will work.
