Yes it will hold the Imax, but if you go up to 36ft, it will must likely lean and look bad in your neighborhood.

That's why I suggest a 3 section mast especially since the top section doesn't need to extend as long being supported by the middle section. This should keep it rigid and straight. Look at my pic again and notice how I left the top section short for that same reason.

It's only because you have an existing pipe and it would be wasteful to dig it up and redo it. But you may find it less confusing and easier to start from scratch and build 3 telescoping sections.

You can either slip a larger pipe over that 2 inch and build it up or, With these aluminum pipes and more size choices, put a smaller pipe inside your 2 inch and go up from there. Same difference once they are bolted together. You just need to have the 3rd section 1 inch or 1 1/4 for the Imax Ubolts. You may want to check on the Imax Ubolt size too.

Use the middle section for adjustments sliding up or down or in and out of the existing pipe.

You just need to check with the pipe dealer to know which sizes will slip into each other including your existing pipe.

Hope that clears it up some.
