[TowerTalk] TIC RING

 TIC ring rotors have been in desing evolution since there conception  of Polar Reasearch days.  As Stated Carl Anderson is fantastic about helping over come manufacturing and install problems , IMHO  has great support.
 
As stated in other replies, my only other advice is to BUILD Each Tic Ring on the tower AT GROUND LEVEL. I then MARK each peice as to where id go's and disassemble them.       This avoids any install problems and familurizes your self with the assemnlies.. .Better There then hanging from the towere at height. You can leave some parts in a pre assemble configuration to aid in install.
 
 As for climbing over. I climb over them at one of the tower apex. Fall arest on top release Belt and step up on the TIC ring.  1022 , 1122 are real easy 1032 just a little more thought . 
 
 YMMV
