It depends on your wind load and placement of the antennas plus how much
lateral force your rotator can withstand. I do not have an engineering
degree nor do I know the details of your system so I cannot advise but I
will say that I have always put 1/3 in the tower and 2/3 out and never had
an issue. I am not a fan of climbing masts, especially a 2" one, so 14'
sticking out would be plenty for me.

I bought one of the DX Engineering super heavy duty 2" Masts. It is 22 feet
long.
My question is: How many feet inside the tower and how many feet above?
My initial thoughts were to have 8 feet inside the tower going to an Orion
M2800 Rotor and then 14 feet up out of the tower.
Is there any set formula?
Thanks
