I love the next day delivery I usually get from mcmaster carr. However, for the tubing the minimum amount is 25 ft. for either size of tubing. Another source but probably not as fast is shown below. I will share what I don't use.. just send me your address

Thank you for taking the time to line all this out for people like us. This kind of blog post ended up being extremely useful in my opinion. Tyrkiet turistvisum
Hi all,
I exchanged private emails with av888tor, so this is an update to
the community.
My 1st email:
I’m lostinsuisse on both FlyOnSpeed and on VAF (but I’m just a lurker there). I live in Switzerland but have an RV4 in California (purchased, not built). I just ordered the electronic parts for the AOA from Mouser.ch, delivered to Switzerland, and will start building the board as soon as I can get the circuit board.
As I live in Switzerland I could also be a source for tubing for European builders, if you’d like to send me more tubing than I’d need for a single build. I’m also happy to pay for that, and for shipping of course. I was planning on being in California now, but Covid-19 changed our plans. Next visit to California will be in June hopefully, and that’s when I’d need the tubing. The tubing isn’t needed until the end of the build, so I’m not in a hurry, just checking the possibilities.

Av888tor's response:
I would be happy to send you my excess tubing. I also have extra boards (Gen 2 Ver 3) that I could send. Please send Calif. address or the Europe address whichever you would prefer.
I have 8 extra boards. They are the latest version. How many could you distribute.

My response:
Before we cancelled our trip to California I ordered 5 boards for delivery to California. If you could send four boards (one for me and three for others) and some of your excess tubing to Switzerland that would be great.
After they arrive I’ll make an announce in a new forum post saying I can be a European source for the tubing and boards. At this time I don’t know of anyone in Europe who is interested in building, but I am imagining that such people will eventually exist and I could be a local source for them. Ah, I should also make that offer on VAF after I have boards and tubing in hand.
Next time I’m in California I can send you some or all of my excess California boards if you like.

Av888tor will be sending me some extra boards and extra tubing, so I will
be able to be a local source for anyone in Europe building the Gen 2,
Ver 3 AOA device. I'll make an announcement here and on VAF when I
have the boards in hand.
