| Not a good view of the mast, but taken at night on the G1, it shows a nice sunset as well as the rotator cage, top bearing and the support arms attached to the top section of the mast. |

| The mast itself weighs 82Kg. It is bolted through the wall to large metal plates and will be guyed at the rotator cage. | Alterations to the head unit to fix the rotator cage, also shows the 'drop arms' for extra support. | Although in this picture the cage does not look vertical, I can assure you it is. | The stub mast and two verticals will be moved over onto the KR-400 rotator and this will give room for the beams. | The green top section of the mast will be locked into place and not extended, as I only need to raise the other sections to clear the roof! |
| First lift of the Completed array before the guys were attached.......... |  |
