[quote=astglenn]Let me add:
We modified a gin pole here in the fab shop that seems to work really well for the mast step nightmare. I don't much care for that entire process. I am not afraid of it, I just know how completely sketchy that it REALLY is. So long as the mast is raised under some lateral stability, its barely OK. That entire undertaking is one component failure away from everyone knowing that something went really wrong at best and a smashed car or bystander at worst. Meh. I could be happy never stepping that mast again. We are drawing up a replacement hinge in Solid Works and will likely machine in-house out of Duplex or Titanium. I hate that stock, cast aluminum hinge plate.[/quote]
