I had a Skyhawk for a few years, but lost it to an ice storm.  In my opinion 
the boom is a weak point.  There is supposed to be triple thickness at the 
center of the boom, but where the doubling pieces meet a couple of feet out 
from the center there is only the single thickness of the outer boom material.  
That is the point where my antenna failed; the boom broke right at the 
juncture.  Note the antenna is only rated for 90mph.  Electrically it was a 
wonderful antenna.  If I were to put one up again I would add a boom truss.
