Lock washers and high clamping pressure. Don't use stainless steel either. BTW, my friend's Starduster and a fire starter using Aluminum cable salvages from a PIPER, and by brother in law burned his house down with aluminum wiring.

Is there anyway to improve upon that? http://kr-builder.org/Electrical/index.html There is a time for building and a time for FLYING and the time for building has expired.

Make an X with the antenna mounted in the center and you have a good ground plane. Search the archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/search or http://www.escribe.com/aviation/krnet/ and you will find lots of suggestions.

This is difficult to do in a KR-2. What are some solutions to make a acceptable installation? Is a 36 inch ground plane standard?
