[TowerTalk] Rotor load bearing weigh

>  I like your method for raising an installed mast.  I  will be lifting my 
mast up
when I take out my Hy Gain Tail Twister and  replace with an Orion 2800 in 
a couple of weeks.
I assume you used a gin pole  ?
 
    For what? The only thing I use a ginpole for is  stacking sections. For 
90% of everything else, I use the mast as an attachment  point. 
 
    One end of the comealong attaches to the choker  sling on the mast and 
the other end attaches to a convenient place on the tower  - usually a 
brace. Works every time.
