Welcome to the forum - looks like your jumping in with both feet. How much experience do you have flying powerkites? Or riding in a buggy? Are you
thinking of building them for production? Sorry about all the questions but a lot of us here are very curious people - thanks for any feedback you
may provide (pictures would be great).
we all believe is called the expansion

Hey Boney
The towers look good. I used to be the Mechanical manager for a local boat yard here in Vancouver ( West Bay Sonship Yatchs) so I know what goes into
a tower or radar arch. good luck with the buggy, keep us posted.

Boney, welcome to the forum. Good luck w/ your build. What material are you going to use? Are you go to reanodize the frame postweld? Or put that
aluminum paint on the welds? I get calls all the time to go repair tuna towers , radar arches, rocket launchers ect. Usually just cracked welds and
the like. And most of the time, it has that paint on the welds. always wondered why they didn't just powdercoat instead.

Hi Boney, well I dont want one thank you, but I am looking forward to seeing your finished buggy, you have more than enough skills to build an
exciting new buggy
