Having replaced several of my static wicks, I'm wondering if there's another option, as ours tend to break when anything barely touches them (I bet a bird could land on one just right and break it). A line crew, airplane detailers and I have broken a few just by barely brushing against one at $40-$50 a piece, is there any way we can replace our static wicks with a more flexible one? I wouldn't mind paying extra for one that's not going to break so easily if it requires getting an update on an STC. I have been looking at the wicks on King Airs, Cessnas and every other airplane I've examined all have flexible static wicks that simply bend when you touch them, where ours just break. Is there enough interest here to write to the company to see if they can come up with a flexible static wick option? Or do our modern Mooneys need the inflexible, porcelain like wicks for some reason different from other planes?
