alumnium = lighter, less efficient, easy to destroy. <p>Copper = heavier, more effecient, harder to destroy

would it be possible for us to get one? how much would it cost? and where to get one? i m not sure if it would be worth the weight though.

umm, Im just going to guess that the copper rad would weigh 2-3 times more (if not more) than the aluminum.
