correction to strike protection

[john firth]

Apologies to the BGA for attributing to them, the suggestion of inserting
non conducting sections in a control rod.
Apparently this came from Schleicher, who have probably rethought the idea
as being unhelpful.
Yes , non conducting complete control rods will help, unless you
have a carbon spar.

That would aid tremendously in avoiding problems with aft CG. Win-win!

The helmet should have no pointy bits that would act as a lightning rod. Metallic tooth fillings not recommended.

Metal mesh?:

is-it-sea-creature-where-from-how-big-a8052176.html

Sorry if the URL is folded - its quite long: just like the bobbit itself.
I can't tell you how to wear one, but I guess Jim will fix that for you.
