[TowerTalk] Erecting tower sections solo

[Chris]

What scares me about using a winch with a remote control is having the remote break, get stuck, or otherwise fail to stop winding in cable.  Then the tower gets pulled down with you on the top!

If you pay attention to the noise it makes you can detect a problem almost instantly and stop before something bends or breaks.
