That would be nice, but remember even though you aren't making 75% power at 6000 feet or 8000 feet 2500RPM your true airspeed is better than 75% power at say 2000 feet

It could be static. Just to respond to a few things you talked about: I got shocked through both the yoke and the throttle. Usually it was through the throttle, but sometimes I felt the shock through both yoke and throttle. The yoke is painted but the paint is a little worn where I usually hold it. The airplane has static wicks. At least three on each aileron. I think there are a few on the elevator as well. When I got zapped, it was about 65F and the dew point was about 63F. Was worried about fog forming but it didn't happen. Very humid. I got shocked lightly once or twice during run-up. Then I really got shocked a few times after I was airborne. I also got zapped shortly after landing roll-out. But not during taxi after. The club mechanic happened to be on-duty so I discussed this with him. An instructor and I flew the plane shortly after (same night) to see if we could replicate and isolate the problem. Neither of us got shocked.

I should mention I've flown this airplane a number of times during the day and have never been shocked since. The only time was on a muggy, warm night. I think the person who responded to my post is experiencing the exact same problem. I would guess it might be panel lights. I turn all the other lights on for landing during the day (they are LED's so why not) and I have never been zapped then.

This is a response I received by another J model owner. Anyone experience this or heard of a similar issue?

I posted this on another forum, Pilots of America but I figured it was worth re-posting over here because I got an interesting reply. The following quote is my original post.
