Re: QCX + (20) Winding Wires
I'm not trying to be a smartalek here, but have you downloaded the manual and read it? Not far into the manual is a inventory that should answer that/those question(s). Before beginning a project like this, it is good to look through the whole thing to get a feel for how it needs to go together in the steps outlined.
