To be truthful, I can't say for sure, I know brass is conductive.
I believe aluminum is also, just much less so.
This was just a rule I learned early on in the hobby and have keep
doing over the years. I have seen interference when hitting a screw
driver to the piano wire I use for my push rods, or even the screw
on the top of a servo, so I know that its a valid point. And after
my initial setting up, I hate having more problems when I get to
the field, so I just don't chance it.
