Scroll down the list and you will see weight, size and length. TT will be
about the same price.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Broken masts
I notice that Texas Towers carries a line of steel masts.
A friend recommended the 20 foot steel 0.25 mast. He said that if I nested
about 7 feet or so in the tower and kept the rotor lower it would add
strength to my setup. I don't want to scrimp on the mast. We can get some
horrendous local storms here in the summer
I am trying to figure out how much that mast will weight.
