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.
