My goals are to have a tower ridged enough that  you can  raise tower and genny.
With out the guy wires being a critical part of the structure.  Like they are with 2inch water pipe during the lift.

They would be safeties for the lift and provide the bulk of the thrust load carrying  when the  lift is done  and they are tighten down.

I am thinking that with a 3foot on a side base. Then tapeperd to 6 inches at the top   I can set the guy at 10 feet from the base  and still carry the thrust load while keeping the tower foot print small .
 I guess you could call it a hybrid cabled free stander.

This will be for the wind generator from Hugh Piggotts plans.
 And will be shooting for a 30 foot tower.

 I have been kicking around the idea for a counter weighted gin pole to make the lift and lower
easier.
And lastly do all the above on a low budget this could be a tall order but I think it is doable.
