three questions:

1.  the cord to release the safety latch is very small diameter--
      any problems?

2.  The company spokesman quoted $400 for an 80mph wind
      load analysis!  What have others found to be the case?

3.  Has anyone stacked  beams, one to go up to the top and
      another to somehow be lower for a different elevation  angle.
