" Have people encountered antenna bonding problems and is their a simple fix for these "darn" plastic aeroplanes..:)

Are there any radio experts who'd like to throw in their  2cents of valuable insight? " 


 I am no expert on the subject either, but Jon Hadlich (used to work in the Avionics Department at Lancair and did my panel and aircraft wiring) had me use Silver Plate Copper paint around all my antennas. 

 

The official part number and name (from Lancair) is: SP-008A

                                                                            COATING SILVER PLATE COPPER WATER BASE 

 

I got one pint for $56.

 

Another thought is installing static discharge wicks.
