Folks, just because you want to use silver paint doesn't mean you have to suffer poor radio operation. Just install the antenna on the outside of the airplane instead of burying it in the structure, and in effect the silver paint becomes a ground plane. Sure, you add the drag of an external antenna, but there's your trade-off.
Anybody done any tests to see how much speed you give up by having an external antenna? All except for Mark Langford (who is fairing his itty-bitty transponder antenna, for goodness' sake!), who can even measure it?
