Gentlemen,

Had to throw in my $0.02 worth.  I remember about two years ago, Cirrus (or maybe Lance) was trying to get the production plane IFR certified. That required lightning tests.  If my memory serves, to pass testing, a layer of metal screen cloth had to be bonded to the wing skins and wicked.  Good for dissipation, bad for internal antennas.  I hope I joggled one of your minds and more info will come pouring forth.

Thanks for a great list.
