Default Antenna Ground Plane Grounding

I am sure you will know the definitive answer to this question. I have a
"plastic airplane" a Glasair to be specific. I was recently told that ground
planes should not be tied to ground via a secondary wire to the ground bus.
What I have done is on my Strikefinder and my transponder I have provided a
fairly large circular (approx.) ground plane made out of aluminum sheet. The
antennas are electrically tied via their attachment hardware to the ground
plane and within the antenna to the outer conductor of the coax. This being the
case, is it a mistake to tie an additional conductor to the ground plane and
tie it to the ground buss? A buddy of mine says that creates a loop which will
introduce noise and maybe create other problems. What is your opinion on this
matter?
