I am  looking for someone with experienced who have used a crane for  tower
installation of 45g.   I plan on hiring out the service but  I am not sure if
the best thing to do is to have the tower in  1 or  multiple sections for the
install.   Also was considering have  the rotor, mast and 2m/440 vertical
mounted before the lift.     Can the 45g handle the weight without buckling
?   Right now the  plan is to put up the 10 sections all at once (guyed).
Please  advise.

DO NOT do 10 sections of 45 all at once.  It is a disaster in the  making.  I 
have done nine sections of 55 all at once and would be  comfortable doing 
it....but not nine sections of 45, especially with all that  stuff on it.
