Look up Luneberg Lens via Google.
We hung them on T-33 target aircraft in exercies to give a radar
return the size of a B-47.
You could make one out of foam and Rennels (sp) Wrap and put inside
your plastic bird and get a much larger radar return for just a few
ounces for the lens.
These are passive devices and no power is required.

Modern gliders are small and made of materials that show up poorly on
radar.
Are we basically flying stealth aircraft?
