I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on lifting the final section of 25G, 
top stub and thrust bearing installed, along with a 30 pound mast nested within 
the section.  My gin pole utilizes a 12’ length of 6061-T6 aluminum,  2” 
diameter, 3/8 wall thickness.  The combines weight of the the assembly is close 
to 80 lbs.  The gin pole has been very sturdy during individual section lifts, 
but I don’t know if #80 is pushing it.
