I have flown on many bal diamonds, sometimes the lights were on for some reason, otherwise they were off. The only time I got worried was when the humidity was real high. I just flew the plane down on the deck. At that period in time I did not have a handle like Bigiron used to make.
Now that I think of it, with the new handles including the hard point handle we are not grounded anymore. How much static buildup does it take to jump the gap? Have fun, DOC Holliday
