Dear subscribers,

 

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?

 

Since I had the control surfaces off anyway I put gap seals in place – so I should be able to tell soon if there is a speed increase (given they don’t come off)

 

Thanks

 

Ralf
