ok i was basing my logic off of south wests tiltup kit for the whisper 100 or 200 it is a 80 ft tower with 2 1/2 shc 40 pipe i noticed they have 5 guy wire sets so i can do that if it is necessary but i will use 3 in shc 40 so it should be loads stronger then 2 1/2?
 so would you go with 1/4 inch guys all the way or bump to 5/16 at top? or should i sell the turbine and get more pv? seems like it is almost impossible to build a tower for these things? i am open to suggestions any help is appreciated.
