Subject: EZ Way Foundations
> There's an EZ Way 50' for sale locally, so I looked up their instructions.
> I "feel", based on some experience, that the foundations now being

> case, the recommended foundation seems wildly underdone!

> The RBS 60 foundation spec is a 14"X66" hole for the finned "ground post",
> to which the tower is clamped. They recommend tamped earth for teh fill,
> not concrete!
>
> I can't find wind spec's for the RBS 60, but the RBS 50 is rated for 12
> ft^^2 at 50 mi/hr when self supporting. This seems optimistic to me!
