 Sounds like a good argument to go with XM Weather (WxWorx) and "S" mode
 transponders for traffic.   The other benefit with the metallic based
 scrim would be do discharge "P" static.  But with the Pressurized ES you
 should have enough carbon fiber to conduct static out the wicks.  With E
 glass we do not have conductivity.  You will definately want to install
 wicks.  I researched this topic and have a drawing of the "airframe wick
 mapping locations" if you want.
