| Subject: | mylar decorative trim |
With painting complete, Im considering various approaches to some trim striping,
one of which would include reflective silver mylar tapes along the rudder.
My COM antenna is located in the vertical slot between the vertical fin and the
rudder.
Might someone have any definitive information as to whether or not the silver mylaroften
referred to as mirrored mylarhas any qualities which could generate
interference with my radios?
Insights appreciated,
Fred

Hello Fred,
If the mylar is conductive, then it likely will change the transmission
qualities of your antenna. How much depends on the amount of coverage.
It's possible that there's a non-conductive route to take. I wonder if
there's any highly reflective silver vinyl that doesn't contain metal, but
will look about the same?
Vinyl is great (maybe you are using it already), and it can be easily put on
and easily removed, just like your aircraft lettering.
In fact, some people paint their plane just one color, and do all the
accents with vinyl alone.
Congrats on finishing the painting. That's one big job checked off the
list..
Hope this helps,
Greg Fuchs, A050

Fred,
If non-conductive metallic-looking Mylar or vinyl is not available, you
could just try it. Just like there is metal in your airplane not far from
the antenna, you could probably get away with small accent strips as well.
Best if they are smaller and broken up, and not one long continuous piece.
Besides, they could always be removed, right? :)

I'm very glad to hear, that Ian is still recovering after the stroke. His advice,
help and hospitality was much appreciated, when I bought my Europa in the UK
back in 2011.
I'm looking forward to meeting him and Irene on one of the next Europa gatherings
in the UK!
