yes bionic ....if you look at mine ((froggers new imax2000 bending the steel pole)) the pole as bent ....but imax is ok...i agree..for the money there spot on.... ;) if it last a few years ill be well happy... :LOL:
 
I've had my share of problems with push up poles over the years but I think it was mostly my own fault , sure there not towers I agree but I was always shooting for the stars with those so I would be pulling out all sections as far as they would go which later on would turn out to be disastrous for me sooner or later. Now adays I will leave about a foot in each section for better stability (it helps) along with some good guy wiring would surely be a plus. You would think after 3 50ft'ers and 2 5/8s waves in a course of 7 years I would have learned something ? Mother nature can surely be unpredictable. )-: but I guess IM the only one to learn this the hard way ?
 
Well of course you are. Tha rest of us were born with the instinctive feeling that setting up three 50 foot towers then mounting 2 5/8 wave radiators on the menagerie would be a problem. What were you thinking?
Holy "s" :LOL:
