I echo Tim. *I have metal foil tape on the inside of the turtledeck of
my Austria, and it works great. *You take ground from the antenna and
connect to the foil tape. *It lasts a long time (it was like this when
I bought in '95) and works cheaply.

You could also put the ground plane and antenna internally, which
would be less prone to damage, look better, and slightly improve
aerodynamics, assuming you have room for the antenna; wood is
transparent. Just a thought...

Yes, my Woodstock antenna is completely inside the glider as is the
Cherokee Kids installation.
