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,

Subject: Europa-List: mylar decorative trim
With painting complete, I'm 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 mylar.often referred to as mirrored mylar.has any qualities which
could generate interference with my radios?
Insights appreciated,
Fred
