Static Wick / Dischargers on Rudder
I recently lost a total of 4 static wick / dischargers over the course of a few flights (recurrent training preparation and check ride - lot of time single engine…). All TFOAs were from the static wicks on the rudder, none elsewhere. Just curious as to whether or not others have seen similar “results”. Also - when replacing the static wicks, any recommendations on temporary Locktite? Thanks.

I bought several (they are pretty inexpensive) and just replaced it. Doesn't look that high up from the ground, but when you stand on top of a ladder it is a bit sketchy!
