I am finally put my static wicks on. I put 2 on each aileron and on each elevator. I made sure that I have a good electrical connection to my engine ground.

I got 2 wicks left now. My rudder is made out of fiberglass so I assume it is not conductive. My small wingtips are also made out of fiberglass. I did not use conductive primer or anything else to make them conductive.

Is there a need to put these on now or would it be worthless?

Ralf,

Your installation is exactly like mine and it works well. I have had occasion to fly without the wicks during early testing and would get an occasional “pop” in the headphones during some flights at medium to high altitude. Completely eliminated with installation of the wicks.

Save the two extras for when you lose one, or someone walks into one and breaks it… My two cents…
