I've cut the parts for the remaining (3) antennae: (9) 1" pieces of the .040" rod and (3) .75" pieces of the .040" x .080" strip.
Next I use a pin vise and a .030" drill bit to make (9) more holes at the designated details of the MR's upper wrap. I wiggle the bit in each hole for a slip fit of the .040" rod.
I then insert (3) of the rods approx. .5" into the BT and apply epoxy to the inside protrusions of the rods. As the epoxy sets I brace the rods with (2) pieces of soft balsa and a clothespin.
While the epoxy was hardening "The Vixen" called me into the kitchen to sharpen the Santuko and I cut my right thumb pretty bad in doing so, so this will have to continue tomorrow.
