The way I set it up, the flag picks up at about 30-35mph, but only a small amount is catching wind, so it won't put as much stress on the flag itself. When you get to highway speeds, it flies a lot straighter.

100 is a bit steep for most of us on here but what people dont think about is the guy has to pay for material, tools that wear out plus make money on top of that, thus the reason parts are so expensive from anyone.

Thank you! Lol. And that's not including the time of labor.

Wow. There's no national spirit up there, is there? We won't shoot you. We love our northern neighbors!

Why'd it only hold for 5 hours?
