Hey all your station builders...
The local U. of Md RC is trying to build their own gin pole, through the
help of some friends in the metal/welding dept. We/they have the hinge, clamp
and pulley arrangement pretty much worked out. The question is the main mast.
I've used a gin pole in the past, and know it's aluminum and about 10-12ft long
and 1-1/2", or 2" OD. We would like to know the exact ID & OD for structural
integrity. Anyone know these off the top of their head? Tnx and cu in the
tests from w3lpl.
