|

I just ran across this offering on the 'net for .013" thick
copper sheet.

This stuff is thick enough to craft mechanically robust
ground plane radials for antennas on plastic airplanes.
In fact, one could also craft the center commoning disk from
two pieces of the same material. Sandwich and sweat solder
the radials between the commoning sheets.
I've crafted several DIY com antennas with featuring
coax connectors. I'm satisfied with the last iteration
and will be publishing a comic book on it in the
not too distant future.
