I have been waiting now over a month for my antenna kit from RTS. In the meantime I jumped ahead and constructed the main spar jig. I used MDF and my pocket hole kit. The pocket holes made construction really fast, however some care was needed to ensure the pocket screws did not pull the jig shelf away from its proper position when they were tightened down.
I finally got impatient waiting for the antenna kit and I ordered some copper foil and toroids from Aircraft spruce. Today the parts arrived (from ACS) and I laid out the foil strips, toroids and soldered it all together. I used my multimeter to check for continuity. This weekend I hope to lay up the bottom glass.
