If you ground it, it will not build up a static charge, and that is great. If you do not ground the MR Funnel, it will be much more likely have the same static charge that your red plastic gas jug has and to spark to a metal filling nozzle at the gas station. As posted in the first thread about the fire, if there is metal ( or carbon ) for a metal nozzle to spark to, you are more likely to get a nice fire causing spark out of it than just by filling into a plastic can.

I took off one of my blades today ( I added the spacer blocks ) I did a static run up to set the pitch.... Thought it was good....Went flying around the pattern.... The "R's" wouldn't get has high as I wanted.... But HOLY COW....I was Hauling azz.... I landed and took a little "bite" out of the prop ( 1/2 turn ) But it was too much , so I put a quarter turn back into it..... Something I don't understand.... When I folded the plane up at the end of the day (cheaper hanger rent) The aileron tubes were being "bowed" from pushing on the prop.... I ended up putting the prop straight up & down.... Does anybody elses do that....I built that area "Stock" Maybe only the Tennesse prop will fold like that ??? Gotta Fly...

Perhaps you can solve the problem by changing the aileron position?
