[TowerTalk] Time for a Real Tower Question TX-489

["Wilson" <infomet@embarqmail.com>]

There’s a local opportunity to get a TX-489 at a good deal.
This tower looks “nice”, but the spec’s seem pretty optimistic to me.
Do we have any first hand owner experience in the group?
Has anyone had one up in serious wind?
Has anyone seen one fail?
I’d GUESS the failure would be a leg, at the base, maybe in compression??
Here’s the book on it:

This tower is in west central NC and easily picked up.  1800 lb.
I can put you in touch with the owner, if you like.
