Dixty: I suppose ur heart is in the right place, that u mean well, and u just want to make a meaningful contribution to the hobby. Good on ya for all of that.

It's a shame to see u attacked for trying to help.

But... surely, if this were a valid issue then we'd also be hearing about it from the gasser guys because gasoline vapors are so much more volitile. Or the tons of very, VERY experienced folks in the jet side of the hooby would have stumbled across and recognised it before now. Many of these folks have extensive aviation backgrounds and the concept of static discharges is not a new one to them.

And I can't remember anyone ever mentioning being "electroshocked" by a model of any type.

Never say never...but this threat just doesn't seem to be a "thing", ya know? Thanks for trying tho.........
