LOL

Damn you!

I think Im gonna install it on my ipaq and do a bit of tinkering on that when im in work

lol.

Im at 1200m, but it starts to fail about 10 seconds from the end and as its falling to the ground it registers as a height of 800

lol hooray for bungies

bounced my top of the first tower up and above the rest of it

"We have the technology, we can make it bigger and stronger..."

Anyone tried other foundations, like the narrow base?

Havent tried any myself

but feel free if you think youll get a better structure

Just the classic ground is the easiest to build on

I can understand what you say as well.. Ive been working on mine. Dont think a steel structure has ever been this high

lol I tend to go for wood only above 500mtrs, but this thing is nearly all steel.

Still cant get it stable though its collapsing in the last second. Damn thing!!!

its like playing a game of reverse ker-plunk.

Once you get above about 1200 feet its just an accident in waiting, one actually stood up to it on the first go but when I tried again to get the screen capture the thing wouldnt stay up

TBH it was all over the place and how it stayed up is a near miracle
