[TowerTalk] t2x, c31xr and ef240x

[mohammad almutairi]

Pete,

In a weeks time , I'll be rotating a C31XR & an Xm-240 which together
weigh about 137 lbs. & I'll be using same density mast as a the chrome
moly you'll be using (length 15' = 97.5 lbs.). Rotate all this with a
light rotator the HAM IV. I'll let you know via TT how long the HAM IV
managed to stay functional! , from that you can make your own
assumption on how long you T2X will last !
