Scroll down the list and you will see weight, size and length.  TT will be
about the same price.

I notice that Texas Towers carries a line of steel masts.

A friend recommended the 20 foot steel 0.25 mast. He said that if I nested 
about 7 feet or so in the tower and kept the rotor lower it would add 
strength to my setup. I don't want to scrimp on the mast. We can get some 
horrendous local storms here in the summer


I am trying to figure out how much that mast will weight.
