Now that we have beaten to death the legal aspects of flying
without the window...;-)

    I am building an ES and was wondering if anyone farther along
than me (horiz stab) had any input towards static dischargers for e-
glass aircraft. I am a commercial pilot and notice that even
low/slow production aircraft come with static wicks. I am not going
to go where no man/woman has gone before, but I AM aware of a
need to dissipate static and bleed off electrical energy if one is so
unfortunate to come into contact with a charged cloud.

    Since most experience has been with metal or carbon fiber, I am
particularly interested in how to ground e-glass airframe and
components. Do we spin a web of wore around all critical
components? How do we carry the static from one wing to the tail?

    I am aware of the kits from Aero-Options and have tread some
articles on lightning strike technology. I am hoping there are others
here who share my interest.
