I loved how when they were first developing stealth technology the standard procedure was to build a wood model, mount it on a pole, and and check the radar cross section. Eventually it got to the point where the pole had a higher radar cross section than the model plane and they had to spend a lot of time and money developing a more "stealthy" pole.
