My experience, over 1.5 years, of flying with WLS primer was that it allowed 
static buildup under any conditions.  So much so that I could get a Loran 
unit to work on the ground, but it always lost communication very soon after 
being airborne.  If I would wipe my hand across the cowl, the hair would 
stand up on my arm.  Generally, the problem went away when the plane was 
painted.  However, by that time I had installed a GPS in place of the Loran.

I am currently writing a story about my flight to the Reno Air Races and the 
return in heavy IFR conditions where, among other things, I experienced 
sharp discharge noises in my headset, occasional VHF whine and ATC 
communication difficulties, AOA going wild, disconnects of my Auto Pilot, 
and loss of the GPSS-A/P GPS guidance from time to time.  Was it merely 
simple static or unusual electrical properties in the cold clouds?  I had 
never encountered such a strong effect before!
