Barry Knotts" : Since we're talking atmospherics and static electricity generation, what's the story with static wicks. Anybody have strong opinions on them? Have you used them? This is for a IV-P so there is already some conductivity in the carbon fiber. Do you need to tie them electrically into a common ground or just leave them silvered into the carbon fiber? How many should you use and where should they be placed? I couldn't find much in the AeroElectric Connection on the topic. Barry Knotts IV-P, Conti TSIO-550, Toledo, Ohio - 15% [Try taking a look at the static wicks page at www.aero-options.com (found through the "catalog" link). I think you'll find many of your questions answered. ]
