I might add another bit on lightning and protection.  A good bonding from
wing tip to wing tip and nose to tail feathers (all three) might help save
an exploded wing tip, rudder horn or elevator tip.
Lightning seems to use aircraft as a path to the next cloud, going in and
out on one or the other axis.  Bonded nose bowls and wing tips seem to show
only a few small holes after a strike where unbonded parts can be
traumatized.  Hinge welding is a possibility.  Simple static over time will
pit bearings to the point of uglyness unless bonding is used.
