In my humble opinion it's a very good idea to create a better path for lightning outside the wings. 2 things come to mind: The better the conductor, the less change for heat generation. The tie-bar is not an optimal conductor and there should be a well connected copper or aluminium bar/wire parallel to it. The other obvious place to strike are the position lights. Maybe it's a good idea to run their ground over the outside mesh, and not through a wire inside the wing. The feed wires are usually longer and thus form a less interesting  path for a strike. I've seen brick walls blown apart because the lightning followed a path over a wire in that wall. The wire was stripped and still in place! Something for my next winter to-do list. And if ever possible, i will still avoid thunderstorms.



Regards,
