    Subject: Re: Electrical bonding
    From: "Remi Guerner" <air.guerner@orange.fr>
    Could anyone explain why wooden aircraft does not seem to be critically affected by the possibility of a lightning strike as are composite planes? Here in Europe, we have thousands of certificated all wood Robin DR400s, some of them approved for IFR, flying without any specific lightning protection such as aluminum mesh in the skin, wicks and so on. However, in my previous aircraft, a DR380 which is very structurally similar to the still produced DR400, there were a full network of tinned copper braid running inside the fuselage, connecting all metallic parts (fuel tanks, control hinges, engine mount...) together to the negative terminal of the battery and the engine block. I am not sure wether or not there were also such a ground network inside the wings. Remi Guerner Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=433769#433769
