Default Bax,should I be concerned about reception/interference?

Bax,

I am planning on having this radio tray installed in a high end turbine jet. It is made of plexiglass (plastic) with a mirror coating on it. The install will consist of 2 sbus rx's into a powerbox cockpit srs,with 2 antennas on top,and 2 on bottom. Tx is an 18MZ. Considerable time and effort have been spent on fabricating the tray,and it is spectacular. That said,I don't want to lose a 10k+ jet because of it. The only feedback I've received so far,is conjecture,and speculation. I'm hoping you can give me some more definitive guidance. Thanks in advance.

If the mirror coating is metal, then you may have a difficulty. You will need to perform a lot of careful range testing to be sure before you ever make the first flight. Getting the antennas outside of the airframe will help a lot.
