Default Handheld problem in NORDO plane

static wick. You can make one out of a solder lug, a high value resistor,
and a pinpoint for less than a penny if you google my KitPlanes article on
the subject.

However, for aircraft less than 200 knots cruise speed, it isn't a problem.

Airframe static? Isn't that what they have the static dissipation
wires for? Just a WAG.
