All that was missing were the bearings and the tails. We are nearing the goal.

tails

So I received the first 300.

That's when I saw that there was a spelling mistake… Otherwise it wasn't funny.

Good. I imagine that on a Pioupiou perched 10m above the ground, it won't bother too much. We will correct for the next series.

Once forgotten the stories of Bescherelle, it took " finalize » the cards. As these also act as an antenna, there were still a few components to add: the coaxial cable and the BALUN. Then, a small drop of resin to seal everything.

It was an opportunity to bring out the KAPLAs who rocked my childhood. Besides, the seller ripped me off. He told me that the fake KAPLAs fromtoy Club were as good as the real ones. Total disappointment: they are badly cut (which interferes with the stability of the constructions) and in very poor quality wood. Anyway, that's enough to make wedges:

In the end, these 300 tails are ready. We have even just started fixing them:

The 200 still missing should be sent to me on Monday.

Bearings

A priori, the new supplier seems to meet the deadlines.

I should receive them within the week.

But now I know the song. So, we will wait to have them before declaring victory.

Deliveries

As it is summer. Some have left. In short, it is not easy to know when and where to deliver.

So, I will send an email where you can confirm the date and place of delivery. But I'm really waiting for the last moment, to be sure that there are no other surprises along the way.
