    Very nicely attached, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Are you using CA glue for that?

    Great antenna wiring, Reinhard @grimreaper
    From a learning perspective, do you apply the CA at first on the antenna pole or do you apply it on the wire, and what do you use to put the glue on.

    My dad usually puts the thread to the plastic and then applies the CA glue with a wooden toothpick to the joint. In general he applies CA glue with a toothpick. EZ line or any other elastic thread reacts instantly with the glue. In rare cases my dad also uses fishing line, but it takes some time and way more amount of glue until it bonds with the glue.

    EZ line seems to be a great material, my friend @grimreaper!

    Still a great job with the fishing line, @grimreaper!

    Thanks for sharing the approach, Reinhard @grimreaper
    I'm using Ushi van der Rosten myself which is also elastic like EZ line.
    The fishing line looks nice as well.
