Re: Terrence O'Neill's question about stat= ic wicks
 
    Sorry, can't comment on= any particular brand of static wicks.  My impression is that a lot of= sharply pointed ends help with static discharge.  That said, I was ju= st at an air expo where I saw a couple of planes with static wicks made of = just a piece of multistrand wire, maybe 12 ga, with the aft 3/8" stripped.&= nbsp; Would they work?  Dunno, but you'd maybe risk a quarter to find = out.
