I recently acquired a 27'6" cast (I think) aluminum flag pole. It's a heavy duty commercial type, about 1/4" thick wall at the base. I want to mount it in a "Counter-Balanced" Tilting base, for ease of service in the future.
Does anyone have a formula for figuring the 'balance point' vs 'counterweight size' on a flagpole?
This is going to be a DIY project, that I can make myself. I can do my own welding, concrete, drilling, etc. I just need some pointers on the balance & pivot aspects of such a project.
Thanks!
