Being 1/3 blood American Indian, I have no fear of heights and no fear of falling. The thought of the sudden stop at the bottom does slightly concern me though. Great to see you are getting it tuned in Dallas. My vertical is at 40'. Home made configuration alows me to pull a pin and lower it to the ground for tuning and maintenance. No fear of anything but tripping over my own feet. 🙄 73, Brother! 👋 😑🦗
