Don't follow the assembly steps in the manual. I've found that it's
mostly slower and more confusing than just taking each marked bundle of
elements and riveting them together. I only refer to the manual if there's a
question on final assembly. With this antenna there's nothing tricky about it
so you could do the whole thing with minimal reference to the manual. (Note:
this is not a violation of the LXC Prime Directive since you can't really
screw anything up.)
You better have a pop riveter. Allow 3-4 hours for assembly.
