 Very nice job all the way around. Great post.

   We used to build telescoping towers for our installs. Tallest install was 4KW at 150', 2 piece tower.

  One thing I've not seen addressed on this site is, has anyone build a set of slip rings, to keep the downleads from twisting, as the machine hunts the wind, over a period of time ???

  When I build my 4 KW machine, I built a set, using starter brushes and spring clips, from a Chevy starter, actually 2 starters, so you get 3 clips. Worked like a charm.
