Actually, we suspect that the previous record will hold, especially if there is significant wind.
Scoutmaster Gary made a fairly clever rig, but the challenge of keeping the material light and sturdy starts to get serious once you approach 30 feet.
If nothing else, we’ve got a reusable 25′ pole and stand. We have an extra 15′ of additions to go for the 40′ mark, but last night’s Iwo Jima reenactment wasn’t very encouraging.
Gary is working on a modification that might make it work. I suspect we’ll probably give max height a go, and then lower the rig to whatever conditions allow.
I’m looking forward to it either way.
