I had not planned on installing static wicks on my normally asperated super ES. Do I need to rethink this? I live in the Pacific NW and quite often fly at 10,000 to 15,000 ft alt. I was under the impression that static discharge is not generally a problem at these lower altitudes. Is this not the case for glass airplanes? If I need them, how much effort is involved to install after all flying and control surfaces are closed? Hope I haven't made a bad assumption.
