we have no problems with local ATC radar picking up our Grob 103, LS-4,
Libelle, and of course.. the Schweitzer Iron, 2-33 and 1-26

but they have to be looking at Primary Radar.. and not just the transponders

If radar getting you is a problem, for boats they make fairly
compact aluminum "radar reflectors" that are pretty lightweight.
Dunno if they'd fit in a tail section though, kinda
"ship-in-a-bottle" maybe?

I am planning to fit a marine aluminium corner cube into the fuselage
of the Pirat. It's about 12" on each side, very light, and can be
assembled in situ. There more compact reflectors for marine use which
are claimed to have larger radar cross sections, but the emphasis has
to be on "claimed" there.

Sounds interesting. Can you supply more detail yet, like cost, weight,
sources?
