    That looks nothing like a Handley-Page HP-24 Hyderabad.

    But it's probably a better glider than its namesake!

    I've been using them for a few years on RVs. I like them; they hold all 3 axes firmly and stay in place.

    You can remove the film locally where you want to rivet. The technique, common with RV builders, is to run a hot soldering iron along a straight edge where you want to tear. With a bit of practice,...

    The typical loss for a BNC connector is 0.1 * sqrt(freq-GHz) dB
    So at R/T frequencies it's about .03 dB - not a lot.
