What of the NORDO wooden glider with the right of way over powered
aircraft?

It is my understanding that synthetic aperture radar can see every kind of
object, including trees, ground, buildings, ect. That should work OK for
wood or fiberglass planes, also.

Here's the definitive Synthetic Aperture Radar web-site:
http://www.sandia.gov/radar/sar.html

And here is the Synthetic Aperture Radar Applications web-page:
http://www.sandia.gov/radar/sarapps.html

However, I don't see any mention of SAR being capable of seeing wooden
aircraft in flight, but SAR is able to image an oil slick on the
ocean, perhaps you've got something there.
