Default Magneto ignitions and static fields causing radio interference?

Any object that has air moving past it, whether airborne or on the ground will accumulate a static charge if isolated from Earth ground. Therefore, if this were a problem, all model aircraft would experience the phenomenon, and do, but not to the point that it is problematic.

Whether the engine is equipped with a magneto or not is irrelevant in regard to static charge accumulation.
