The GPS Block IIR satellite that I'm building has two wire antenna structures. In this picture you can see them on thin arms that protrude above and below the satellite bus or body. To me they look like wire fir trees. Anyhow the model has them built of strips of paper glued onto stacks of paper tubes. I'm foreseeing problems building that at my skill level and it staying nice looking in the long-term, so I'm considering using wire instead.
I've chosen a suitable gauge of galvanized steel wire and plan on having lengths bent at 90 degrees to make two "probes" that I'll attach onto a central post, probably also wire. What do you think would be the best way to secure them? CA glue? Soldering? Honestly, I'm not much better at soldering, so I'm hoping there's something else you can recommend.
