Hey all,
First post here from a new RV10 builder! I'm adding static wicks to my control surface trailing edges, as described by Mouser (http://mouser.org/projects/rv-10/staticwicks.html) and others. I just wanted to gut-check something here on the forum. What the ****, it's also an excuse to get my first post up.
When mounting these nut plates for static wick attachments, is it important to strip away the primer between the nut plate and the rudder spar where I'm attaching it? I know you have to do this for a bonding stud to get conductivity. Feels like the same requirement must apply for these static wick nutplate attachments.
OR, it might be the case that the rivet itself provides enough conductivity so that I don't have to worry about this.
Thanks in advance!
