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.
