Building a flying disk model from an 8ft satellite dish

[Arctic Fox]

I’ve been working on some electroGrav theories and am now wanting to start building models to try and test these theories. I’ve a 8ft satellite dish that I was thinking on using as a mold, but have no good ideas on how to go about this.

As like a “UFO”, I need to create a top and bottom curved section then mate the two parts together. I’m not sure if it can be made with wood, plastic, fibreglass or ceramic...

Anyone with ideas?

If it doesn't need to be more than about 6' in diameter, balsa-wood is great. Build a frame, then use model airplane shrink-wrap covering for the skin.

It’s a little more complicated than that. :)

Built like a capacitor, the top and bottom sections are each designed with a top and bottom conductive layers, separated by a 1" insulating layer (ceramic).

Something like:

************  Fibreglass
------------  Aluminum
############  Ceramic
------------  Aluminum
************  Fibreglass
